Bug Description

I use more than one browser profile, only one of which is logged in to Launchpad. When using ubuntu-bug to report a bug, it will open the page in whichever one happened to be focused last. If this browser profile isn't logged in to Launchpad, it will redirect me to a login page. It is impossible, as far as I can tell, to reconstruct the original URL in order to copy/paste it in to a browser profile which _is_ logged in to Launchpad.

It would be good if ubuntu-bug could either display the URL it is opening before it opens it in the UI.

(An acceptable workaround for me (as I generally launch ubuntu-bug from a terminal) would be to write the URL to stdout.)
