:SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/xulrunner-2/plugin-container from 'create' accesses on the directory #SharedObjects.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that plugin-container should be allowed create access on the #SharedObjects directory by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep plugin-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Do you know what you were doing when this happened?

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-04 14:42:42 UTC
This looks like you are running firefox as root, which is not a good idea and not something that selinux will support.

You have to run in permissive mode and ignore the AVC's if you want to run firefox.  But this is very dangerous.
