Firefox offers to open iTunes link in wrong application.

[NoBugs!]

In 14.04, when you have Tunesviewer installed and go to an iTunesU page (for example, search for "Stanford iTunesU" or "Liberty itunesU") it offers to open Tunesviewer for itmss:// url it sends you to.

Unfortunately in 14.10 it offers to open the page in Rhythmbox, which doesn't work. (Actually Rhythmbox doesn't even work for subscribing podcast rss from Firefox anymore - but that's another bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1051442)

I haven't tested other URI scheme:// protocols to check if it opens correct application - Could this be a temporary bug in Ubuntu Unicorn or is this a change in the system, similar to how it changed in Ubuntu 11.x as described here? http://jarrpa.net/2011/10/28/creating-custom-url-handlers-in-ubuntu-11-04-11-10-gnome-3-0/
