Ubuntu/LinuxMint: Add apturl to Preferences/Applications tab
Posted: 2017-04-23, 13:42
It only makes sense to do so, at least for those Linux distributions that use apt-get to download and install applications.
Just about all the LinuxMint software forums install via apt: links. Many older (IE: active for a year or more) Ubuntu sites do so also.
Yet the apt: protocol is still not an option in the Applications tab/sub-menu of Pale Moon Preferences for these distributions. And we should have it in the installs provided on the repository, not as a "build-from-scratch only" option.
Related: I have never seen a "Choose other application" option, even when the window is right-clicked, in the aforenamed tab. I should add that a button capable of doing so be permanently added to the PaleMoon prefs in all builds from the next full version forward.
