When running with sudo, it tries to start Chromium (even though it should use Firefox!), but that refuses to start as root:
~$ sudo apport-collect 871728
The authorization page:
 (https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=[secret]&allow_permission=DESKTOP_INTEGRATION)
should be opening in your browser. Use your browser to authorize
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf.

Waiting to hear from Launchpad about your decision...
