[apparmor] /dev/nvidiactl denied by Firefox profile.

Since I've put a Firefox default profile in 'enforce' mode,
from some time in '/var/log/syslog' and '/var/log/kern.log'
files, I see some entries about AppArmor activity. It always
refers to one thing: '/dev/nvidiactl'.

I have an nVidia GeForce 7100 graphics card, so something like
"/dev/nvidiactl" seems to be normal, right?

t4 kernel: [  225.230066] type=1400 audit(1367346234.688:40):
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1
profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/dev/nvidiactl"
pid=2309 comm="firefox" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw"
fsuid=1000 ouid=0

What should I do with this? Add some entries to the Firefox profile,
or it is normal behavior?

Best regards.
