Public bug reported: Both apt:whatever and apt://whatever do not work in Firefox (56.0+build6-0ubuntu1). Firefox says:
""" The address wasn’t understood Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (apt) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address.
