Bug Description

I have ATI RV710 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series].
Each time I open up a new tab that has flash in it, firefox freezes for about 5 seconds, then moves on.
I debugged it and it seems that this is caused by apparmor not allowing firefox to access some stuff that plugin-container wants because of the driver. I do not know if the change was caused by firefox , plugin-container or respective video driver, but I do know how to fix it.

I add in the profile /usr/lib/xulrunner-*/xulrunner-stub this strings (it's for Debian):
  # for the flash plugin and others.
  /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/plugin-container rmix,

Now firefox works fine.
