Support adding apturl support in firefox kubuntu

[MetalHellsAngel]

Apturl doesn't work by Default on Kubuntu when installing firefox. In order to make apturl's work in firefox two packages are needed, gnome-firefox-support and apturl these packages should be installed be default when installing firefox on Kubuntu.

Thanks for any support on the idea.

You want the equivalent of ActiveX on Kubuntu? No. Please, no. Sorry, but I hate this idea more than I can even express.

Sorry, too much eggnog :P

Umm activex?!?!? Not to be rude do you know what apturl is? Read up on it here.

ActiveX is a form of scripting, apturl just tells firefox how to handle apt:// links, it's a protocol handler.

Here's the launchpad page as you can see apturl has been a part of Ubuntu since at least gutsy https://launchpad.net/apturl/

Apturl is installed by default in Ubuntu firefox but does not install in kubuntu when running the firefox installer. apturl allows you to click install files from say the wiki, or a forum reply over at ubuntuforums.org. Everything that you can install would already be available in your repository.

it just works like this

What is a good FTP Client? For Kubuntu

I like to use Filezilla you can CLICK HERE to install it or look in the repository for it.

Well SMF automatically adds http to the link, so the one I added above won't work. but you can see an example of apturl by going to the new getdeb.net website a couple other example websites would be http://appnr.com/ and http://allmyapps.com
