I did another test. I previously had installed Mozilla Seamonkey. I now set Seamonkey as the preferred browser (System > Preferences > Preferred Applications) and re-booted. (Just logging out and in again didn't change the default behavior of Nautilus when I clicked on an html file; but after re-booting, Seamonkey launches for html files.) When I next did the same Evolution > Help > Report a Problem, apport then behaved correctly by opening Seamonkey's browser after apport finished uploading the files. So, this apparently confirms that the problem is in Firefox 2.0.0.10, not Evolution nor apport. I see that the Firefox web site now has a version 2.0.0.11 for Linux in tarball, but it's not in the Ubuntu repository yet. This may be a good time to get .11 into the repository as an update, unless it has its own show-stopper bugs. The Ubuntu repository does contain an alpha of Firefox 3.0 for Linux. I may try that version to see if the bug has been eliminated in 3.0 yet.
Until then, the workaround is Seamonkey. Setting Seamonkey as the default browser does not interfere with normal use of Firefox when launched manually. -- [Hardy 8.04 i386 alpha daily 20080131.2] apport does not open Firefox after collecting crash data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
