I suggest you file a bug report on launchpad against Ubuntu's LO (ULO)
version:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice

You might also install standard LO (you can do this without affecting
ULO) and test to see if that is broken also. If so then you can file a
bug report on bugzilla:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

Perhaps you are experiencing this bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39825
[Does not find Firefox profile for digital certificate signing]

The recent certificate bugs/updates are:
 http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1197-3
  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1197-1
  https://launchpad.net/bugs/838322
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1197-4
  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1197-1
  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1197-3,
https://launchpad.net/bugs/837557

So it's quite possible that one (any) of those may have also cause
breakage in ULO.
