Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I use several commercial software packages that install in /opt. The default apparmor profile for firefox, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox does not allow the user documentation that is installed in /opt to be read by firefox. Everytime that firefox gets updated, I have to manually patch the firefox apparmor profile to allow users to read the user documentation.
