Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
The apparmor profile for /usr/bin/firefox denies access to /etc/alternativ

I know that this profile is disabled by default but I activated it and I think that Firefox should be able to read this file. I have attached a patch that add this authorization to the AA profile of Firefox.
