** Description changed:
Hello, I've already asked a question about this issue and user andrew-
woodhead wrote/suggested, that I should report a bug. So, I just copied
the contents of my questions*, because it seems to me, that exactly
describes the problem.
The default Firefox profile for AppArmor (ver. 2.7.102-0ubuntu3.1
- and apparmor-profiles 2.7.102-0ubuntu3.1) on *buntu 12.04 contains the
- names of directories only in English. What about the other users, who
- are speaking a different languages? Profile contains an interesting
+ and apparmor-profiles 2.7.102-0ubuntu3.1) on all Ubuntu 12.04 variants
+ contains the names of directories only in English. What about the other

policy/rule:
# Default profile allows downloads to ~/Downloads and uploads from ~/Public
owner @{HOME}/Public/ r,
owner @{HOME}/Public//* r,
owner @{HOME}/Downloads/ r,
owner @{HOME}/Downloads/* rw,
- It should not be changed? Let see: if someone uses language such as
- German, Italy or whatever, the default profile may not work, because the
- real names of these (above) directories are different and in fact are
- written in a different, non-english language. I do not know if it is a

bug, but it seems to be important from AppArmor point of view. Of
course, it also has an impact on security.
Example solutions:
1) update Firefox default profile during system installation and a step where
users are setting their native language (automatic update?).
- 2) when the user will try to activate Firefox profile with 'aa-enforce'
command, display a message about changing directory names for '@{HOME}/Public/'
and '@{HOME}/Downloads/' locations in the 'usr.bin.firefox' file. So it will be
consistent with user native language.
- 3) OPTIONAL: adding an information to the "Apparmor - Community Ubuntu
Documentation", especially FAQ subheading and question about enabling profile
for Firefox**.

- Since this is about the default profile, I think that more info about
- system etc. is not needed.
