Hi!

I want to launch a command line from Firefox, for example starting a
Putty session (eg. "D:\bin\putty.exe user@server").

I can access java.lang.Runtime classes inside a normal JavaScript
function (in a HTML page), but I cannot do that inside a Mozilla
Protocol Handler.

Is it possible to use Java classes inside a protocol handler?
Is there another way of launching command lines, without writing my
XPCOM component?
