Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and contributing to
Ubuntu.
I can reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 25.04 (plucky) by running `ubuntu-
bug /bin/true` on a deleted directory.
Note: The getcwd() error message comes from bash itself (not from
Apport):
```
sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
```

running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than
opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile
