The magnet links is no longer open in Transmission

Dear good popular support,

I'm running Firefox on Linux Xubuntu 11.10 22.0. I used to have Firefox to open links magnet in my client of Transmission, but something happened. I don't know what. I tried the normal stuff to go into preferences-> applications and reset of content type "loving" to/usr/bin/transmission-gtk, but it seems not to take. I'm selecting 'use others', I get a dialog box saying 'Select Helper Application', I navigate to the transmission, select it and click on 'Open' and Action for magnet still says "other use". If I hit close preferences and reopen it, still loving said 'ask '. In fact, its not even do that. When I click on a magnet link, nothing happens at all. He draws a dotted line around the icon area so I know I clicked on it, but there is just no action happening.

I don't know where to go from here, so I'd appreciate any help you enlightened folk can offer. I'm happy to answer any questions I can. Thanks in advance.

To sum up, the solution that worked for this problem, as inspired by Waka, was reset Firefox by going to the Help menu and select "Restart with disabled modules" and then selecting the reset option in the dialog box. The next time I clicked on a magnet link, promped me for the application to use Firefox and I was able to select. Firefox now works in normal parameters.
