You're correct, I /believe/ the correct fix is to run : sudo ln -s
/etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js
/usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/apturl.js
Since /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/syspref.js is also
symlinked similarly

Title:
apturl links stopped working after firefox 16
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In Precise + Firefox 11, typing apt://htop in the address bar
correctly brings up a dialog which prompts the user to open the apturl
link with Software Center.
In the following versions that I tested, the dialog doesn't propose Software
Center to open the link:
Trusty + Firefox 26
Precise + Firefox 26
Precise + Firefox 23
I think it broke after Firefox 16.
So if a user goes to https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/htop and
clicks on the "available on Software Centre" icon, he gets an empty
dialog.
