Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When someone gives you a ppa: link, you can't easily view the PPA's launchpad site by typing it into the firefox location bar. It would be nice if firefox transformed ppa: URLs into the equivalent launchpad site for the PPA, so that you could just paste the ppa URL into the location bar and end up at the PPA site.

If we did this, it would probably be by creating a new handler in Ubufox

Should this be something added in apturl so that it works in any browser?
