How do you open Apt links in Ubuntu?

I'm trying to download an Apt file but I don't know how to. I'm using Firefox too.

Associate apt links in firefox with /usr/bin/software-center

Just tried it for a playdeb.net link and it brings it up for you.

If you want a lighter alternative to Ubuntu Software Center, that handles Apt links, you can use AptURL, that needs to be installed with:

sudo apt-get install apturl

Then, you can associate apt links in Firefox with /usr/bin/apturl, as described in screenshot below.
