[Bug 1538884] [NEW] apport dialog should open other browser if default browser fails

 

Public bug reported:

If opening the default browser (e.g. firefox) fails (e.g. because
`~/.mozilla` is a broken symlink) `apport` should open another browser
in order to avoid unnecessary steps to be retaken by the user.
