@chris
Thanks however, at the time of the, problem since firefox would not even start up, I could not see a way of using the normal methods of reporting. No process id for example. and such as
ubuntu-bug firefox
simply crashed out immediately still again offering only the firefox crash report.
If I have missed a method here, then I am sorry - I could not see it in the wiki.

Maybe the wiki could be updated in some way to point me more obviously to a method which can report a crashing app such as this please?
