The bug is specifically in the xulrunner, SELinux in fact saved the system by not allowing the access to the private directory. But why only to one of many subdirectories I got ? xulrunner wanted to read only this particular one ?

Strange.

Suawomirr, can you clarify what were you doing when this happened?

Thank you.

Where is the pool command coming from.  It could have been 

locate -r /pool$

Having a file manager running could have triggered this.
