Bug Description
I am attempting to install a system using the released Xubuntu 22.04.1 (jammy) installer.
An error occurred during the install process, and then the installer failed to open a browser to report the issue. (This bug report concerns the latter fault.)
Below is an excerpt from syslog. It appears that x-www-browser has not been adjusted to use Firefox:

Thanks for your bug report. Indeed, x-www-browser is pointing at chromium-browser, which seems to be installed for some reason. We'll investigate.
