I personally think .deb files should not be associated with gdebi in firefox. It should be possible to download deb's from firefox to your computer and then if you do want to install them, you should browse to the files location and install it from there. I think it is a bad idea to install untrusted packages directly from the webbrowser. Apturl as it is now is perfect in that it allows you to easily install programs from the trusted, official ubuntu repositories. That should be the only way to install programs directly from the webbrowser.
So I would prefer to not have gdebi associated with .deb files in firefox (or any other browser) by default.
