Comment:

 This is supported in Firefox, this does not work in Tor.

 Simply put, this is not a Mozilla issue, nor is it a Firefox issue, this
 is a Tor Browser issue.

 As per the original description: When clicking magnet:// prefixed links,
 "The browser does ask for permission to open the associated application.
 The associated application never recieves the message from the TBB. This
 works in normal Firefox.
