Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
on karmic, apparmor prevents an active directory user from starting firefox. An
active directory user has his home in a folder following the pattern
/home/DOMAIN/user/
and this is probably the cause of the misbehavior. An user not belonging to
Active Directory will be able to start FF when apparmor is on.
starting firefox when AppArmor is off will enable the Active Directory
users to see the ubuntu "search page" (default home page for FF3.5.3).
As an evidence, the /var/log/kern.log lines follow. they're related to
the lock operations on the FF .parentlock. It seems that the k mask is
being denied.
