Public bug reported: After activating firefox profile, be it in complain or enforce mode, no applet will run.
The culprit seems to be: apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,[^s][^h]}//browser_openjdk" name="/run/user/1000/dconf/user" pid=11973 comm=64636F6E6620776F726B6572 requested_mask="wrc" denied_mask="wrc" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 The rules that prevent the applets to run belong to Apparmor abstractions, specifically /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu- browser.d/java These rules will be enforced, even when usr.in.firefox is in complain mode (I don't know why exactly) Adding write access to the line owner /run/user/*/icedteaplugin-*/ rw in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browser.d/java seems to solve the problem.
