Thanks for the merge request, Soumyadeep. Unfortunately we just missed
the Snapd 2.74 cut, but I'm sure it will be there in 2.75.

  Since my last reboot, Firefox has been logspamming my system with the
  following message:
  
  Dec 19 08:21:12 work kernel: audit: type=1400
  audit(1766096472.659:55003): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"

  pid=13905 comm="MemoryPoller" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r"
  fsuid=1000 ouid=0
  
  This message has occurred previously at a much lower frequency:
  
  $ journalctl --boot --dmesg | fgrep 'profile="snap.firefox.firefox"

  I'm filing this against Firefox, since presumably it's responsible for
  supplying a correct AppArmor profile for itself, but it's possible that
  this has been activated by a kernel or AppArmor upgrade.  Here's the
  relevant version info:
  
  $ snap info firefox
  name:      firefox
