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).
