Public bug reported:

For quite some time now, I have experienced apport popup windows
reporting certain crashes. When I click to submit a report, the popup
window disappears and nothing further happens.

In the past, when closing the popup window, I used to see a new
Launchpad bug report where I could enter further details about what was
happening, or check that the bug had already been reported by others.

However that feature seems to have been disabled or become broken some
time ago.

If apport is going to silently ignore my request to report my bug, or is
reporting it somehow without feedback me, then either of these is poor
design, since there has been no feedback to me as the user about what is
happening.

Can I suggest that apport be changed to inform the user of whether or
not the crash report will be uploaded, and whether or not the user will
be redirected to give extra details? Then, if the firefox window fails
to popup, I can report a separate bug about that if needed.
