[Bug 1769183] [NEW] ubuntu-bug ignores default browser setting

[Hynek Vychodil]

Public bug reported:

When running ubuntu-bug and sending the bug report, the default web
browser setting is ignored. It just launches Firefox, even I have set
google-chrome as mine default browser.

$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[sudo] password for hynek: 
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
