The suggested work around doesn't work for me. (Ubuntu 12.04 Firefox
12.0).
While doing the last step in the work around, that is, sudo
/etc/init.d/apparmor restart I noticed the following
* Reloading AppArmor profiles
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox
Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.sbin.rsyslogd
[ OK ]
Does it mean that the update didn't affect the required files?

Title:
nsIProcess doesn't work for some executables
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hello!
I'm the author of the Firefox extension "It's All Text!". This
extension launches a local editor (like emacs or gvim) with the
contents of a textarea to make editing web pages (wikis, etc.) easier.
I have discovered a bug in Ubuntu's firefox:
https://github.com/docwhat/itsalltext/issues/18
It appears that the nsIProcess run*() methods fail for *some*
binaries.
In the issue I referenced above, the user was able to use
/usr/bin/gedit but not /usr/bin/sublime-text-2. It would fail to
launch and return an exit code 1.
The user was nice enough to let me screen share with him and we tried
runwAsync() (the default), runAsync(), and run() to launch the editor
but it failed in all cases.
We then downloaded Firefox from the official site (both the Ubuntu one
and the official one were 7.0.1) and nsIProcess then worked.
I am unable to figure out:
* How /usr/bin/gedit and /usr/bin/sublime-text-2 differ that one fails and
one succeeds.
* How the Ubuntu Firefox and the Official Firefox differ.
I haven't a clue about what's going on here.
I am unable to reproduce this problem in my VM. I'll ask the user to
subscribe to this bug in case you want to ask him additional
questions.
Ciao!
