Description of problem:
I erased ~/.icedtea to clear the cache.  Then I started firefox and tried to run a java applet.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.19.x86_64/jre/bin/java from 'create' accesses on the directory .icedtea.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that java should be allowed create access on the .icedtea 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 java /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
