solution:
In ubuntu 21.10, try setting firefox > preferences > applications > magnet
to "Use System Handler (default)"
and see what that does (it obviously depends on the system :-) ). When I tried setting /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
as the handler, clicking on magnet links did absolutely nothing. Setting firefox to "use system handler (default)" however did work.
