Thanks you for you bug report, does that cmd work for you?

$ xdg-open http://www.ubuntu.com

Apologies for the long delay, I've had a lot I was doing.

The command you listed successfully launches Firefox, with https://ubuntu.com in the address bar, and the Ubuntu website visible. Note that I'm on the same Kinetic install that I was on when I first posted the bug report.

Bug still present Lubuntu Kinectic daily ISO 28-06-2022

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I figured out the reason: /usr/bin/apport-bug sets PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin but firefox is a snap living in /snap/bin/firefox.

Pull request: https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/2

I was able to reproduce it on an Lubuntu kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso (from 20220927.4) by running:

```
$ PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin xdg-open https://ubuntu.com
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: firefox: not found
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 882: firefox: not found
xdg-open: no method available for opening 'https://ubuntu.com'
```

https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/2 was merged to main.

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.23.1-0ubuntu1

The issue reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1969291 isn't an issue any longer as of Lubuntu ISO 2022-10-08

(1969291 marked duplicate of this report)

I wonder if this bug wasn't a consequence of the firefox deb not being installed and alternatives not being setup for x-www-browser and gnome-www-browser. More details about that can be found in bug 1992688.

@guiverc i just tried latest iso lubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and reported Bug 2002120 that now is a duplicate of this. So its not fixed.
My bug is about Apport. Is this about ubuntu-bug? So then mine is not duplicate, or why its the same package?
Ubuntu-bug doesnt work for me at all because of Bug #2002119

ubuntu-bug is a command from Apport. This bug is fixed in Ubuntu >= 22.10 (kinetic) but not in 22.04 (jammy) – yet.
