Steps to reproduce :
1) Click on a link to a .deb package (for example one of those available http://
2) Firefox correctly asks you if you want to use gdebi to run this file
3) Click on OK
Expected results :

Actual results :
An error is shown saying that the helper application cannot be found (see capture)
