Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
If you enter "about:config" as url, please look for an option called:
network. protocol- handler. app.apt with the value: /usr/bin/apturl
Is this existing? If so, what does
'ls -la /usr/bin/apturl'
say?
