This is not a crash, it’s a recoverable problem. It seems to happen when
trying to open market:// URLs in the browser (from pages that
incorrectly assume that they are running on an android device).

I can easily reproduce the issue by opening a test page in the browser
that contains this code:

  <html>
   <body>
    <a href="market://details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch">click me</a>
   </body>
  </html>

When clicking this link, I’m seeing the following error in the browser’s
log:

  ** (process:14120): WARNING **: Unable to dispatch url
'market://details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch':GDBus.Error:com.canonical.URLDispatcher.BadURL:
URL 'market://details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch' is not
handleable by the URL Dispatcher


We could probably have a default application that registers as a handler for 
this type of URLs and informs the user that android applications are not 
compatible with Ubuntu (adding an ubuntu-ux task to get input from the design 
team).

** Changed in: gallery-app (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Also affects: ubuntu-ux
