I am unable to trigger GNOME Software to install snaps.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit http://snapcraft.io/zzt
2. Click green Install button
3. Browser is taken to snap://zzt
Outcome:-
"The address wasn't understood" error page in Firefox
Expected outcome:-
GNOME Software launches directly on the ZZT snap app page.
Here's a video showing it:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOaGt8W2zrY

Olivier - could you have a look at this one? I've asked Chris C for some pointers and will let you know what I find out.
