I am running Firefox 15 on Ubuntu 12.04.
If I go to a website with a .deb
link, Firefox downloads the file, then tries to open it with gedit
. If I use Nautilus to open the .deb
file, it runs it in either gdebi or Ubuntu Software Center (I've experimented with both).
Oddly, no matter what I've done I can't seem to get Firefox to believe that debs should not be opened by gedit
. See below from my mimeapps.list
. Also, there are no references to my .deb
files in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
