add the following lines to user.js (in the profile folder):

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ssh", true);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ssh", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.ssh", true);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ssh", \
[noLineBreak] "/PATHTO/NAME_OF_SSHHANDLER_HELPER_SCRIPT");

save ssh.cmd in (e.g.) c:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell for Workstations\Sshhandler.cmd

@echo off
@FOR /F "tokens=2,3 delims=/@" %%a IN ("%~1") DO \
"c:\Program Files\SSH Secure Shell for Workstations\SSH Secure Shell for Workstations\ \
[noLineBreak] SshClient.exe" -u "%%a" -h "%%b"

rem ...DO start SshClient.exe - without quotes - works better;
rem but how does the path go into there without quotes...?

in case it doesn't work add the following lines to user.js:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ssh", true);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ssh", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.ssh", true);

i happily give credit for this - and particularly the windows integration - to martisch_AT_uos.de (www.waldwolf.net)
