Here is a simple guide to make Join2LFS links work in Ubuntu (Gnome).
1. Download Join2LFS here and extract file "Join2LFS.exe" to your LFS folder.
2. Launch Gnome Terminal and run few simple commands:
Put this script there (please don't forget to replace PATH_TO_LFS with your full path to LFS folder):
Save script, close Gedit and run:
3. Firefox Browser (why this way):
In Gnome Terminal window run next 3 commands:
Launch Firefox -> go to LFS World -> choose a server you want to login and click on lfs link (
) -> in "Launch Application" window choose "Join2LFS.sh" and check in "Remember my choice for lfs links" then of cause click OK 
Voila!
4. Opera Browser:
Launch Opera browser -> Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs -> click "Add.." -> type "lfs" (without quotes) in "Protocol" line -> type "Join2LFS.sh" (without quotes) in "Open with other application" line -> Ok
5. Epiphany Browser (with Gecko rendering engine):
Open Gnome Terminal and run:
in the end of file add next lines:
Save and close Gedit. Don't forget to restart Epiphany.
Nota Bene 1: if you have problem to type and see messages in LFS on your native language, add LC_ALL variable to script file. For example in my case (russian locale which Windows uses) script will looks like:
Nota Bene 2: if you want to close you browser after LFS start, install wmctrl package by this command:
and add to the end of Join2LFS.sh file next lines:
Good luck and thank you for your time
