[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Dariusz Gadomski (dgadomski):

[Impact]

 * With apparmor enabled (and usr.bin.firefox in enforce mode) there is
a crash happening every time right after launching Firefox.

[Test Plan]

 * sudo aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox

 * launch Firefox

 * See a similar segfault reported in the syslog:

[Where problems could occur]

The fix adds additional paths to firefox apparmor profile (e.g. affecting /sys/devices/pci* and RealtimeKit1). When using deb version of firefox the browser may chose a different code path to execute than before, so it may affect hw acceleration (the sysfs paths were used by libxul) and audio.
Maybe rendering artifacts and audio sync issues in videos.
