[Bug 280623] [NEW] .deb association with gdebi doesn't work in firefox

[Jonathan Ernst]

Public bug reported:

I'm using a fresh intrepid install with an empty firefox profile.

Steps to reproduce :
1) Click on a link to a .deb package (for example one of those available http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/intrepid/i386/pidgin/download)
2) Firefox correctly asks you if you want to use gdebi to run this file
3) Click on OK

Expected results :
gdebi is executed and can install the package

Actual results :
An error is shown saying that the helper application cannot be found (see capture)
