Telnet URL Protocol Handler in Firefox

Firefox does not handle telnet link url "telnet://" out of the box.
To enable this simply click on a telnet url and set telnet application of your choice in pop-up dialog.
Default Windows's telnet application seems to be there already.
There's also check box to remember this choice and prevent dialog popup in the future. This can be changed in firefox preferences.

My telnet/ssh application of choice PUTTY works with this method.

With current version of firefox it's a lot simple than before where there was no GUI one need to start with opening "about:config" in URL bar and configure firefox preferences manually, or edit preference file in Firefox application folder.
