[Bug 1804558] [NEW] ubuntu-bug opens external brower synchronously

[Boruch Baum]

Public bug reported:

The ubuntu-bug script opens a web browser for the user to enter bug
details directly on launchpad; however, it does so synchronously, thus
needlessly tying up the linux terminal. The browser should be launched
asynchronously (eg. cd ; nohup firefox & disown ; cd - )
