Bug Description

Firefox on https://www.speedtest.net/ warns that "Speech dispatcher" isnt installed if insterested
But installing takes too much steps

Warning gives link to learn more
And has instructions
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/speechd-setup?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

Base user wont know how to use terminal
For that is apturl

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL
apt url written in this help says liink needs to be apt:packaganame
Is that correct?

BUT if i make <a class="apt" href="apt:speech-dispatcher">apt:speech-dispatcher</a>

AND if i make test for firefox <a class="apt" href="apt:firefox">apt:firefox</a> then also nothing found

Then it opens out of box Discover package manager on Kubuntu 22.04.3 but cant find package

But package exists- if pro terminal user know to open terminal

In that case it should at least recomend to open terminal with text prepended if cant find in Discover app manager.

UPDATE
BUT if i make url apt:// then it does search and doesnt find correct app <a class="apt" href="apt://speech-dispatcher">apt://speech-dispatcher</a>

firefox <a class="apt" href="apt://firefox">apt://firefox</a> then it does search and find more then exact package

Thanks bpromt, pragmaticenigma, tomreyn
