Yet another topic on custom uri handlers + browsers

Example URI in question

 teamviewer8://remotecontrol?connectcc=606000000 

.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=TeamViewer 9
Comment=TeamViewer Remote Control Application
Exec=/opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/script/teamviewer %u
Icon=/opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer.png
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/teamviewer8;

After this and `update-desktop-database`  it works via {xdg,gvfs,gnome}-open and midori, but not from chromium/firefox.

In case of firefox i get "Launch Application" pop-up with empty list (before .desktop file change it was throwing an error page)
and in chromium - it just googles custom URI   actually works from real url in page

How to fix this situation - from system side, so it's possible to include this in package? (I can only test for xfce4/e18)
