Oh, and using ubuntu-bug works fine for me and opens a tab in Firefox on
Vivid.

Title:
  ubuntu-bug is itself broken

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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
