Seems I lose that change because I saw the "disabled firefox-3.5" message from AppArmor at boot before.

Anyway, somehow it got enabled again:

$ dmesg | grep -i firefox
[ 6.587048] type=1505 audit(1254470422.064:10): operation="profile_load" pid=355 name=/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox
[ 38.238036] type=1505 audit(1254492053.716:22): operation="profile_replace" pid=900 name=/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox

Also it seems to be getting in the way of mplayer plugin:
[ 131.649716] type=1503 audit(1254492146.504:51): operation="open" pid=2367 parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf"

------

For now I'll stay with your solution:
$ sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5 /etc/apparmor.d/disable && sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5

Thank you.
