Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
firefox-3.0 in ubuntu ships with an apt://packagename URL handler setup by default. This will call /usr/bin/apturl to bring up a popup giving the user the option to install the given package from their ubuntu repositories. e.g., apt://vim-full, see http://is.gd/sLi3 for a blog post about the ubuntu wiki supporting these URLs however, it seems the firefox-3.5 shipped with Ubuntu doesn't include this handler definition by default, these are the values found in about:config for firefox-3.0: network.protocol-handler.app.apt;/usr/bin/apturl network.protocol-handler.app.apt+http;/usr/bin/apturl network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt;false network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt+http;false please add these to the firefox-3.5 profile ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: firefox-3.5 3.5~b4~hg20090330r24021+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: firefox-3.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 ** Affects: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- firefox-3.5 apt:// urls not working out of the box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
