Getting this error message Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ableton) isn't associated with any program

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ableton) isn't associated with any program. I keep getting this message even though the ableton software was installed and authorized

Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.

So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.

ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...

Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:
