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.
