Description of problem: Java applets will not execute due to SELinux. It appears that java is unable to create the .icedtea directory in the users home: avc: denied { create } comm="java" name=".icedtea" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:mozilla_plugin_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.12.1.69-fc19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 19 + GNOME + Firefox + OpenJDK + icedtea-web 2. From Firefox, navigate to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp Actual results: Java test applet exception occurs and SELinux denial is reported. Expected results: Java test applet should run normally and no SELinux denial should occur. Additional info: This looks like it might be a regression as this seems to have been reported a few different time over the past few months
