Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport

(9.10 beta)

When I go to file a bug report against Firefox, either using Help ->
Report a Problem or "ubuntu-bug firefox", it launches apport, submits
the system details, but does not launch a report window if Firefox is
already running.  If I run "ubuntu-bug firefox", I see this:

r...@linda:~$ ubuntu-bug firefox
r...@linda:~$ The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 631 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

This does not appear to happen if Firefox is not already running, or if
it's run against another package, oddly enough (I'm using "ubuntu-bug
apport" to report this, without problem).
