Title:
  apturl links stopped working after firefox 16

Status in “apturl” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/htop and
  clicks on the "available on Software Centre" icon, he gets an empty
  dialog.
