HOWTO: Fixing gnome-vfs ssh support in Firefox
In theory, the package firefox-gnome-support handles GNOME’s Virtual File System URLs. However, out-of-the-box, it lacks support for the ssh handler used when connecting to something via ssh.
To fix this, go to about:config and find the key called network.gnomevfs.supported-protocols. Append ;ssh:, thus changing it to smb:,sftp:,ssh:. It will magically work!
Red Five:
I did this, but it didn’t work. I have firefox-gnome-support installed, and made this change in about:config. But it’s not working.
