@wfhammond 12.04:
My usr.bin.firefox_patched originates from FF package which is shipped with ubuntu 16.04. It is very likely that the apparmor profile shipped with ubuntu 12.04 is different from that version. As a result, the patch seems not to be applicable. Still good to know for other users. You can still take the relevant lines from the patch "VERSION 7" and apply them to your usr.bin.firefox. ======== 14.04: Users reported that version 7 worked with 14.04. I have not tested that myself. Note that FF's apparmor profile is disabled by default (presumably for a long time) via the official packages. If you want to give it a try (and enable it): The procedure is the same (see comments 31 and 21). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659988 Title: Firefox apparmor profile: /usr/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation: Permission denied Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I start Firefox, even when run as root, I get an error message: /usr/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation: Permission denied As a result, Firefox only shows white or black content in browser tab (which is basically rendered empty). I can work around this issue with a cd /etc/apparmor.d/disable ln -s ./../usr.bin.firefox apt-get install --reinstall --purge apparmor libapparmor-perl libapparmor1 After that, content is rendered again. I had this problem earlier (https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1643200) and worked around it by installing a firefox extension "ubuntu modifications". But after updating from 51.0.0 to 51.0.1, I got the same problem again and enabling or disabling the extension did not help any more. Same for enabling/disabling all the hardware acceleration and/or e10s settings in about:config. Now that it seems to be an apparmor profile issue, I think that can be fixed in a nice manner. And it also should see some priority. Therefore, I think it makes sense to have a clean new ticket for this.
