[Dennis Sheil <1521789@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Going on skomorokh's  advice I downloaded the apparmor tools to put
things into complain mode and so forth.

Theoretically this should not have fixed firefox, but it seems to have
done so for me.  Firefox always used to freeze within minutes for me.
Now it hasn't frozen in days.  I didn't do anything other than install
the apparmor-profiles and apparmor-utils packages and tinker with
complain a little.  I did *not* note what files it complained about nor
did I whitelist any.  Yet it started working, and has done so for the
past few days.
