Bug Description
In Precise + Firefox 11, typing apt://htop in the address bar correctly brings up a dialog which prompts the user to open the apturl link with Software Center.
In the following versions that I tested, the dialog doesn't propose Software Center to open the link:
Trusty + Firefox 26
Precise + Firefox 26
Precise + Firefox 23
I think it broke after Firefox 16.
So if a user goes to https:/

You're correct, I /believe/ the correct fix is to run : sudo ln -s /etc/firefox/ pref/apturl. js /usr/lib/ firefox/ browser/ defaults/ preferences/ apturl. js
Since /usr/lib/ firefox/ browser/ defaults/ preferences/ syspref. js is also symlinked similarly
