[Bug 1814609] [NEW] ubuntu-bug / appport never opens browser window

[jimav]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, X11 gnome session.

For some reason ubuntu-bug <packagename> no longer opens a browser
window.

After prompting whether or not to Send the report, clicking "Send" just
closes appport and nothing else ever happens.  The exit status of
"ubuntu-bug" is zero.

I don't know whether the bug data was sent but browser not opened, or if
apport silently croaked (yet exited with zero status) before sending
anything.

Firefox is my default browser, confirmed just now in Settings->Default
Applications->Web.

Anyway this worked fine before, but it has been many months since I
tried to submit a bug.
