The wiki page referenced actually contains information about how to avoid being redirected to it. It is trivial to create a firefox smart keyword such that one goes to the +filebug page and is not redirected to the particular web page.

With regards to the idea of disabling the redirection for the bug supervisor of Ubuntu - I don't believe this is a good idea. While I am an Ubuntu developer, I'm not familiar with every package in Ubuntu and what is best to include in a bug report about each package. Additionally, I'm not aware of every package that has an apport hook and don't want to have to be. Subsequently, I think it makes more sense to use the appropriate tool, apport, for filing bugs about Ubuntu. In the event that someone really wants to work around the redirection it is possible for them to set something up that does this (as mentioned above) or file a bug using the e-mail interface or the API.
