I don't want to me a one of those "me too" or "mine works" types. However, I
thought it important that you should know that it does work. What I have
noticed, though, is that it will only work if the application is already open.
Ergo, with firefox already active on the desktop, it will open a new window with
the link although it will NOT start the app itself. This could be (I would
think/hope) one of the reasons that the app is not officially offered yet.
