Public bug reported: When used with apparmor profile enforced, firefox will generate some DENY logs. Some operations should be either allowed, or explicitely denied to avoid logging. Luckily, these messages only happen on firefox startup, so they don't flood the log.
1) vfs mounttracker apparmor="DENIED" operation="dbus_method_call" bus="session" path="/org/gtk/vfs/mounttracker" interface="org.gtk.vfs.MountTracker" member="ListMountableInfo" mask="send" name=":1.5" pid=3550 label="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" peer_pid=3039 peer_label="unconfined" 2) .ICE-unix socket (?) apparmor="DENIED" operation="connect" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" pid=7383 comm="firefox" family="unix" sock_type="stream" protocol=0 requested_mask="send receive connect" denied_mask="send connect" addr=none peer_addr="@/tmp/.ICE- unix/3092" peer="unconfined" It does not seem to have any impact, but maybe it's will in a use case that's not mine...
