Bug Description

Recently I decided to try running firefox 80 directly via Wayland, instead of via X11. It crashed. (I haven't tried any previous versions.)

I found the following in /var/log/audit/audit.log:

type=AVC msg=audit(1599023168.948:3997869): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="firefox" name="/dev/shm/wayland.mozilla.ipc.0" pid=1042373 comm="Compositor" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

I added the following to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.firefox:

  /dev/shm/wayland.mozilla.* rw,

reloaded the profile:

sudo apparmor_parser -r < /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox

and now it works.

I can reproduce with firefox 83 on Ubuntu 20.04, and I can confirm that the suggested addition to the apparmor profile fixes the problem.

The additional rule should probably be:
