Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
The apparmor profile for Firefox allows locking of
~/.mozilla/**/.parentlock with fcntl SETLK, which Firefox uses to
detect more than one instance of itself using the same profile.
However, I have old profiles stored in the old location ~/.firefox/**/,
and on upgrade from Hardy to Lucid, I find apparmor prevents Firefox
from locking my ~/.firefox/**/.parentlock file. The symptom is a
popup saying 'Firefox cannot use the profile "xyz" because it is in use.'
(If you run "firefox -P some_profile", you'll get a popup saying
"Firefox is already running, [sic] but is not responding.")
Please add support for the old profile location, by adding these
rules:
