Clicking on an "apt:" URL does not install an application

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

In a brand new, clean install of Karmic Release Candidate, Firefox is missing whatever tweak makes links like this ( apt:ubuntu-restricted-extras?section=universe?section=multiverse ) work...

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Do you have ubufox installed?

[Anders (andersja+launchpad-net)]

It does look like ubufox is installed, yes (i didn't install it, so assume it was part of the default install)

I've now seen this a number of times on new installs ("clean", new Karmic disks). Could someone please test to confirm?
