[Bug 1464053] Re: ubuntu-bug is broken (only) within Mate, because of gvfs-open.
I just tested this again in my Ubuntu Mate system (Wily, fully updated as of today).
Running the command "gvfs-open http://www.bbc.co.uk" still results in the same problem - namely a new firefox window that is open at the homepage, not the URL required.
The gvfs-open command does what it should when the running-desktop is
KDE or Unity - but not when it is Mate.
How else can I help debug this?

ubuntu-bug is broken (only) within Mate, because of gvfs-open.

Bug description:
The ubuntu bug reporting system is rather badly broken, because when I
run ubuntu-bug/apport-bug, it gathers data, then opens a new blank
firefox window, but does not connect to launchpad!
The root cause is this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/1427144
which basically means that apport needs to invoke firefox with a different set of options.
This should be trivial to fix, but I think it's rather important, especially given how hard it is to get a direct report into Launchpad, and all the redirects that emphasise using the ubuntu-bug tool:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
(I'm reporting this from Ubuntu Wily, though I think I recall seeing it in Vivid)
Apport version is: 2.17.3-0ubuntu4
