protocol (apt) and firefox 3.5
It doesn't work when I try to install an application with firefox 3.5, see :
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program."
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program."

Inappropriate?I also had to install
firefox-3.5-gnome-support
which for some reason was not enabled by default nor listed as a dependency for Shiretoko/Firefox 3.5
This solved my problem!
I’m happy
