OK so I'm opening a little can of worms here, but some things just need to be done.
gdebi needs to run as root to install packages. Firefox is (hopefully) NOT running as root. This is a HUGELY important issue for everyday end-users - they click, they expect things to work. There may well be a program out there already that works properly given nothing more than an URL. If so, the right answer for this bug is "use that program" instead - so if you know what the right answer is, speak up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280623 Title: .deb association with gdebi doesn't work in firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/280623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
