This is an apturl bug (it should ship the appropriate preferences if it want's to be a protocol handler for apt URL's)

apturl used to ship a preferences file, but doesn't any more. That should be resurrected (I've already confirmed the old preferences file still works)

This bug was fixed in the package apturl - 0.4.1ubuntu5

---------------
apturl (0.4.1ubuntu5) maverick; urgency=low

  * Fix LP: #576944 - Move the Firefox preferences to /etc/firefox
    - update setup.py
    - add debian/apturl-common.postinst
    - add debian/apturl-common.preinst
  * Don't install apturl.js in /usr/share/firerox - Firefox doesn't see this
    - update debian/apturl-common.install
    - update setup.py
  * Add a couple of extra preferences for Firefox
    - update data/apturl.js
