Title:
  apport-bug fails to open the launchpad site

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
