Bug Description

Since the update to firefox 11~b1 it tries to access my graphics card (thanks to webgl I guess) and fails as apparmor doesn't allow it to do so:

[26481.959879] type=1400 audit(1328391575.597:65): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=9648 profile="/usr/lib/firefox-11.0/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/dev/nvidiactl" pid=9651 comm="firefox" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

Yes, seeing the same behavior on 12.04 using Firefox 17.

Thanks Henning, however unless you have the exact same hardware (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100M) and the exact same apparmor message you should file a new bug. This not only helps to keep bugs mangable and without confusion, but will also capture a set of logs from your system to aid in diagnosing the problem.
