Public bug reported:
(initially reported on the ubuntu-phone mailing list:
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg19168.html)
With the apparmor confinement, it is impossible for a phone user to browse and
view local HTML files stored in their home folder.
This security policy was initially put in place to avoid disclosing sensitive
information stored on the filesystem. It would be good to find a middle-ground
solution that allows browsing and viewing "legitimate" files in one’s home
folder, while preserving a good security level.
