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

[luke hinrichsen]

Hello there, I can confirm that this happens, and I have found a way to
get around it.  It seems firefox is looking for the correct program, but
is looking in the wrong place.  So, what I had to do, is when firefox
brings up the download box, just choose a different program.  In this
case I figured the best one would probably be gdebi-gtk, which is gdebi
with a gui.  All you need to do is click install packages.  By the way,
if you, like me, had no idea where to find the program it is in /usr/bin
/gdebi-gtk.  Hope that helps!
