Hi there,
I just installed EVE-NG Pro version on a server and now trying to click on a node running in EVE-NG from firefox in Kubuntu link and I can see that Konsole terminal is started but it does not telnet into the device.
I can telnet into the device from the Konsole if I type telnet <ipadddress> <port> but it does not automatically happen.

How do I fix this in firefox, looks like it only happens in firefox and I tested with Chrome, it works fine. But in my case I use Firefox so need a fix for firefox please.

Thanks

There could be several reasons why telnet is not working in Firefox on Kubuntu. One possible reason is that the telnet protocol handler is not enabled in Firefox. You can try enabling it by following these steps:
Open Firefox and type “about:config” in the address bar.
Search for “network.protocol-handler.expose.telnet” and set its value to “true”. Candy Crush
Restart Firefox and try again.
If this doesn’t work, you can try using a different browser or a different telnet client. You can also check if the telnet server is running and if there are any firewall rules blocking the connection.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This is likely due to the way Firefox handles different protocols compared to other browsers like Chrome.
