After recent updates Mozilla web browser will not start while in
enforcing mode. The troubling thing is that it does not produce any avc
denied messages. Further, after switching to permissive mode, starting
Mozilla web browser, exiting, generating allow rules from the avc denied
messages, incorporating them into the policy, doing a 'make reload' and
trying Mozilla again in enforcing mode it still will not start and
does not produce and avc denied messages.
Considering that the recommended method for generating policy is to
"debug it into existence" i.e. run things and look at the avc denied
messages, this lack of avc denied message indicates there is something
fundamentally wrong here and indicates a mode of failure we may not have
considered before.
Or is it just a bug?
Thanks for any help,
