This is not a proper fix, but might help if the Browse... button in your screenshot does not provide access to USC (I presume you mean Ubuntu Software Centre).
On Lucid, Firefox recognises that a .deb file is a software package and asks if you want to open it with GDebi. Try using the Browse button to navigate to gdebi in usr/bin It's possible there is a bug/omission in shared-mime-info. Not ideal, but a little better than having to save the file and then open it with another app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830911 Title: Firefox by default doesn't know what to do with .deb files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/830911/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
