I have empathy already installed but am not sure how to configure it to join the channel at http://www.ape-project.org. I do not have a password or login name yet to properly configure the channel with Empathy and when I click "Join our IRC Channel" firefox comes back with an error stating:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program.
What can I do to join this (freenode) channel?
UPDATE 1
Using Empathy Version 2.23.1
When viewing accounts click "Add…"
Protocol: "IRC"
Network: "freenode"
create new nickname, password, and real name.
Then went back to ape-project.org link and click "Join our IRC Channel" again. It brings my Empathy contact list to the foreground but nothing happens…

Basically the channel name for the ape-project is #ape-project. So after joining to freenode on empathy Just do
on text input field.
