[Bug 454758] [NEW] firefox profile stops firefox from loading if profile dir is not in a standard location

[Matt Wheeler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apparmor

I have moved ~/.mozilla to ~/Private/.mozilla and created a symlink at ~/.mozilla 
This means that firefox is prevented from starting by apparmor.

Firefox refuses to start, claiming that it is already running and not
responding.
