Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

When trying to open a tiff file in firefox-3.5 with the apparmor profile installed, access is denied because firefox-3.5 does not have permission to execute /usr/bin/eog:

Oct 29 20:30:52 sec-karmic-amd64 kernel: [19156.154672] type=1503 audit(1256848252.144:23): operation="exec" pid=4224 parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox" requested_mask="::x" denied_mask="::x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/usr/bin/eog

Oddly, there is already a commented out line in the profile:
  #/usr/bin/eog Uxr,

Uncommenting this and reloading the profile with:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5

fixes the issue.
