Bug Description
Binary package hint: apparmor
While loading a mp3 file in firefox, I get this message in /var/log/kern.log :
___
Apr 19 21:59:17 portable kernel: [70804.799364] type=1400 audit(130324315
___
The expected result is firefox playing the mp3.

I also got this message on my ubuntu 10.10 x86_64, but I think this is a firefox misconfiguration problem instead, as I found a workaround while trying advises from https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ EvinceMozilla
- uninstall mozplugger with `sudo aptitude remove --purge mozplugger` firefox/ YOUR_FF_ ID_STUFF/ pluginreg. dat ~/.mozilla/ firefox/ YOUR_FF_ ID_STUFF/ old_pluginreg. dat
- within firefox call "about:addons" change to "plugins" and disable existing PDF plugins
- quit firefox
- mv ~/.mozilla/
- reinstall mozplugger
- everything should be fine now and you should not receive apparmor messages complaining about mozplugger nor evince when starting firefox and using firefox.
(essential is that in firefox "about:plugins" mozplugger is listed...)
