I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

My university uses a web page to help Macintosh users mount disk resources. The links start with afp:// and the rest point at the DNS name of the Novell servers. Normally, Safari users have no problem with this. I tried to set up an "application" entry, but this seems to be display and no modify or new entry enabled.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

always

Extensions installed
