Bravo. This is an issue for new users, btw, because the rather well written "Introduction to Apparmor" by Bodhi.Zazen on Ubuntu Forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008906) uses Genprof at the crucial point where its tutorial teaches you how to build a profile. And it makes a special point of doing this for Firefox, which is arguably the main reason why any desktop user would seek to configure Apparmor when they learned of its existence. So Bodhi.Zazen's tutorial goes kaput just at the point where you are beginning to feel you are making real progress toward securing your machine. (It's seven year's old anyway, yet prominent in the search engines and a big draw because it's a reasonably good tutorial - a rare thing).
If users understood that Apparmor's out-of-the-box profiles should give reasonable-enough protection (they should, shouldn't they? they do, don't they?), they might get a night's sleep. Or perhaps after a user learns from Bodhi.Zazen that they need to install Apparmor's package of pre-baked profiles separately (this is necessary, isn't it?), it might dawn on them that this really is protection enough to give them a night's sleep (it is, isn't it?). But the case is not clear. And the Firefox profile is disabled by default. So that brings you back to Bodhi.Zazen's kaput tutorial and the Apparmor bug.
