I followed the instructions above and it works correctly (i.e. opens a new window of firefox, as expected). I tried to test it though with network-admin crash (which is I can reproduce reliably so getting a .crash is not an issue) by doing :

killall update-notifier
rm /var/crash/*network*
<run it, make it crash>
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk

and it doesn't trigger. This is a clean install of Feisty (i.e. not upgrade), with a new FF profile and all. Firefox is the default browser.
