apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected quantal running-unity

** Description changed:

- I have switched to Chromium as default browser, update-manager and also
- the Amazon icon in the Launcher respect this change, but if I click a
- link in an e-mail in Thunderbird Firefox gets always called. I have
- already tried to restart Thunderbird, to log out and log in again, and
- even to reboot. Links in e-mails always fire up Firefox.
