After upgrading my system from F9 to F10 I ran a yum update.

The following occurred:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing npviewer.bin (nsplugin_t) "search" to ./.fontconfig
(unlabeled_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by npviewer.bin. It is not expected that this
access is required by npviewer.bin 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:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for ./.fontconfig,

restorecon -v './.fontconfig'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

And if I try to raise tyhe bug I get:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved


You can do a couple of things. First, it's probably not a bad idea to run these commands as root:

restorecon -vR /home
restorecon -vR /usr

Then try again by opening your browser and going to a page that caused errors before. If it still doesn't work you can use audit2allow to create a policy. I set up all my policies in a directory called /root/selinux. So as root, do this:

mkdir selinux
cd selinux
setenforce 0
# open your web browser and go to a page with the plugin
grep npviewer.bin /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -a -M npviewer
# review npviewer.te so make sure it looks right.
semodule -i npviewer.pp
setenforce 1
# open your browser to see if the plugin works now

Hope this helps!
