This was already fixed in Apport 1.93:
- ui.py, open_url(): Revert back to calling sudo instead of dropping
privileges ourselves; with the latter, calling firefox as the sudo'ing user
fails. (LP: #916810, #938128)
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)

Title:
crash in open_url
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I was looking at a ubiquity syslog file attached to bug 912031 and
noticed the following:
Feb 23 21:02:43 ubuntu ubiquity: Traceback (most recent call last):

It certainly seems like there is an error in open_url. I didn't see
what though right away. Someone in bug 912031 also says:
"Additionally, is unable to open the bug page in browser as well."
