One process of firefox can be open at a time if you try to open a second without using 
--new-window  its going to fail to open. Is it possible to have apport check for open browser(default browser) since that is what apport uses when it opens it. and see if you cant add something to start it with --new-window if there is one open already? 
Now this might beablet o be handled in firefox or each browser this is seen on but if its possible to only fix one package rather than 3+ it seems a bit easier.
