Public bug reported: When my system-wide preferred webbrowser is configured to firefox, ubuntu-bug (aka apport-bug) fails to open the launchpad site after pressing "Send". I get an empty firefox window instead.
I guess this is caused by the decision to remove the -remote option in Firefox 36.x (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319) and related to similar bugs in thunderbird (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1429275) and xfce4-terminal (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/1429284). dpkg -l | grep firefox ii firefox 36.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.4 amd64 Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla ii firefox-locale-en 36.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.4 amd64 English language pack for Firefox joerg@quad:~$ ps aux | grep firefox joerg 30284 39.4 0.8 1107620 268552 ?
