Whenever I attempt to run "apport-collect -p firefox" and then put in a
bug report ID, the apport collection runs, but then crashes with the
following:
ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_firefox.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 205, in _run_hook
symb['add_info'](report, ui)
File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_firefox.py", line 1386, in
add_info
if (profile.current or profile.default) and
profile.addon_compat_check_disabled:
File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_firefox.py", line 1227, in

is_nightly = re.sub(r'^[^\.]+\.[0-9]+([a-z0-9]*).*', r'\1',
self.last_version) == 'a1'
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/re.py", line 192, in sub
return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object
As a result, apport is unable to collect certain kinds of information.
This can be reproduced by simply running apport-collect for firefox (the
ubuntu default version)
