When you click a magnet link to open it via your existing torrent client, Chrome parses the hash data. But the problem starts when Chrome declines to identify your link and restricts the files from downloading. In this situation, you face errors like pirate bay magnet link not working. Oct 20, 2016 I have to set the default telephone app on 10 iMacs and don't want to register 10 iCloud-accounts just to do the facetime login and being able to open the preferences there. That's ridiculous. Installed RCDefaultApp and set the default telephone app there but the phone-icon in contacts application is still greyed-out.

FireFox:

The Applications panel allows you to choose how Firefox handles different types of files. For each content type Firefox recognizes, you may select an action that Firefox will use to handle that type of content.

1. Open your Firefox web browser. Click the Firefox menu the top left-hand corner of the window. Click Options (PC) or Preferences (Macintosh). Click the Applications subtab. Use the search bar for 'mailto.' Click the drop-down menu under the 'Action' column. Select your desired, default email client (e.g.
2. On the left, select Google Chrome. Click Set this program as default. On your computer, open Chrome. In the top-right, click More. In the 'Default browser' section, click Make Google Chrome the default browser. If you don't see the button, Google Chrome is already your default browser.

1. Quit Google Chrome
2. Navigate to ~/Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Local State
[note: the User Library folder is invisible, so to open it, go to your user folder and press command-G (Go to folder) and type Lib]
3. Open “Local State” in a text editor (like Text Wrangler, Text Edit, etc.)
4. Look for “protocols” and “magnet” and change “true” to “false” (this means ignore Magnet links = false)
5. Save file in same format it’s already in (should not have file extension on end of filename – not Local State.txt or anything else)

Back in the pre-Mac OS X and macOS days, Apple’s System 9 and earlier relied on hidden metadata to associate files with apps. File extensions, those bits of text that follow a period at the end of a file (like .doc, .html, or .jpg) were optional, although often used for compatibility with other platforms and with web. On the web, file extensions are effectively mandatory so a browser knows how to handle a file appropriately.

Macworld reader Rick would like to monkey with that. He has a number of HTML templates, but to differentiate them from his production .html files, he puts the suffix .tt on them instead. Browsers don’t recognize these files by default. There’s a way to force an association between a file type and an application, but that application still has to recognize the extension.

If you have an extension that’s simply not mapping correctly, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the file in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
2. In the Open With section, if there’s an appropriate app in the list, you can select it and click Change All and confirm, and now all files with that extension open in that app. You can stop here. But if the app you want doesn’t appear in the list, select Other.
3. Choose the app from the list that shows. In the Enable pop-up menu, you can choose All Applications, and it will let you pick any app. Check the Always Open With box to force an association.
4. Click Add.

If you’re using, for example, .tt as your HTML template extensions like Rick, you could go through steps 1 to 4, and pick Safari as the app to open .tt files. The trouble is that Safari doesn’t know that a .tt file contains HTML.

In the olden days, when everything to do with the web was more in a state of flux, you could modify and add content mappings, usually in the form used by MIME, a decades-old method of associating actions and formats with file extensions. (You’ll see MIME mentioned explicitly in email programs’ headers. Some kinds of documents also embed MIME information into their headers, so software can read a few characters of the file to figure out what it is.)

Unfortunately, there’s no way I can find to change file associations in Safari or Chrome. Firefox exposes more of this mapping information, but you can’t add new file types.

Might I suggest instead using macOS’s Tags feature? In the Finder, select Finder > Preferences and click the Tags icon. You can add an HTML Templates tag and assign that to all your templates. Then you can use a Smart Folder to gather them together, or use various Arrange By/Sort By options to group by tags.
