Improved url support + 3rd party support

[SfietKonstantin]

Be able to open an application when clicking on an url. Right now, http(s):// mailto:// and tel:// are supported, but maybe we should have extended support, like clicking on a http://twitter.com/ opens Android Twitter / Tweetian.

This need 3rd party support to be able to handle this too.

deep linking would certainly be useful. At the moment the protocol handlers are statically defined in embedlite-componentes here: https://github.com/tmeshkova/embedlite-components/tree/master/jscomps

The protocol handlers end up /usr/lib/mozembedlite/components/ and are defined in EmbedLiteJSComponents.manifest on device. While this is easy for user to hack on his own device, this does not seem very suitable for third party apps to extend @rojkov may know more on how that could be achieved.

Basically we just need to extend UI to load 3d-party manifests installed.

I agree, it would be great if the user was able to send the URL of the current page to another app, e.g. to a password generator like SuperSailPass 😏

Other valid use cases could be:

• send to barcode generator
• send to url shortener
• share with [whatever]
• ...

But there's no equivalent to Android's Intent.ACTION_VIEW, right?
