Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu Lucid

Mar 21 12:43:35 defiant kernel: [14829.573243] type=1503 audit(1269193415.752:28399): operation="exec" pid=20845 parent=20844 profile="/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.2pre/firefox-*bin" requested_mask="::x" denied_mask="::x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/usr/bin/mousepad"

I think it would probably be good to have a text editors abstraction in apparmor so you don't have to add the profile to each browser. Let me know if I should file another bug if you approve.
