The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gdb "read" access on /home/andreas/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. Detailed Description: [gdb has a permissive type (abrt_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by gdb. It is not expected that this access is required by gdb and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

hello Andreas, what were you doing when this happened?
iirc ( tha' s a big if; it' s more than a month) firefox had just crashed and abrt was trying to generate a backtrace.
