Comment 9 for bug 505186

Apport never asks me to submit a report. It never appears or prompts
me in any way when Firefox crashes. Please tell me if I'm doing
something wrong here:

rob@rob-desktop:~$ sudo service apport start force_start=1
[sudo] password for rob:
apport start/running
rob@rob-desktop:~$ firefox -ProfileManager

(firefox:3416): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

(firefox:3416): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

(firefox:3416): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
rob@rob-desktop:~$

A crash file is created in /var/crash but I am not prompted to submit a report.
