Public bug reported:
The current awfully-slow firefox package which is provided via snap has
an excessive log spamming bug: On various system interactions (not only
in the browser but for example by using the media-next button) a lot of
apparmor notifications are triggered:
Jul 18 16:32:05 UML033 kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1658154725.146:718):
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="snap.firefox.firefox"
name="/home/[private]/.xsession-errors" pid=3300 comm="pool-firefox"
requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
[REPEATS]
Jul 18 16:32:06 UML033 audit[3300]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="snap.firefox.firefox" name="/home/[private]/.xsession-errors" pid=3300
comm="pool-firefox" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
[REPEATS]
This is particular annoying for all users who are actively using
apparmor in combination with aa-notify: It floods the whole desktop.
There is also no obvious way to access the apparmor configuration file
of the snapped firefox. There are also other reports on the internet
that the apparmor configuration in this version of firefox fails to
provide the targeted security.
