Is this still an issue for anyone?
Testing with Firefox 70, Ubuntu 18.04 and the link apt://htop, I am
prompted to use AptURL or Software.
Selecting "AptURL" tells me the application is already installed and
selecting "Software" gives me an option to either Launch or Remove the
application.

Title:
apturl links stopped working after firefox 16
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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.
