Thank you for your kind and precise answer.

I think that AppArmor needs some kind of visual indication for when it blocks something, at least I knew it was (or guessed to be) AppArmor because another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/435285/comments/6).

So I *think* AppArmor it's not being disabled for my Firefox 3.5, and it should be, in base to this comment:

I think I just hit with this:

[Jamie Strandboge]
"While the current profile will likely work well for many people, it could easily break functionality. This would be a massive usability issue, in part because firefox appears 'broken', but also because there aren't GUI tools to easily adjust the profile when something is denied."

Maybe it's not really disabled for me?.
