Copy&paste of Michael terry response to other bug:
"This is an intentional change made in GNOME/glib. They no longer use
gconf, but record your personal preferences in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.
gnome-open just asks glib what to launch now.
Use the preferred app selection dialog (gnome-default-applications-
properties) to change the default."
After using the gnome-default-applications-properties program (such a
long name for an app!) to change the browser, apport now opens new
reports with the correct one.
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
