A quick and dirty way to fix it is to just add someting along the lines
of
#New ptrace rules require something like this
ptrace (read),
to our profile for firefox (/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox) and then
reload the profile (sudo apparmor_parser -r
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox)
Here's the full text of my firefox profile

}
Testing this out, forcing a firefox crash without the amendment to the
profile gives a warning that a crash dump couldn't be generated and a
message in /syslog, with the amendment there is a crash report generated
and no warning in /syslog.
A firefox crash can be forced by entering the following in a scratchpad
instance with the environment set to "browser"
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/ctypes.jsm");
let zero = new ctypes.intptr_t(8);
let badptr = ctypes.cast(zero, ctypes.PointerType(ctypes.int32_t));
badptr.contents;
I'm going to mess around with this a bit further and see if there's a
better more inclusive way to go about allowing ptrace, eventually will
put a patch together.
