I want to open channels in servers specified in irc://
links in XChat, but directly pointing to XChat binary (in Firefox) did not work – the window to choose servers appears as usual. I don't know how to associate irc://
links with XChat in Chromium.
Ubuntu – Open irc:// links in XChat from Firefox and Chromium

One possible solution is to make a little script to open the irc chanel in an existing xchat, and pass that to Firefox.
For example - make a file in
/usr/bin
calledxchat-firefox
and put in it:Add executable permission to the script:
Now using the menu option
Edit-Preferences-Applications Tab
in Firefox select "xchat-firefox" for the "irc" content-type.source 1 & source 2
