SELinux Crashes Firefox 3.6.10
I've just installed Fedora 13 (KDE) and I'm already having problems. Anytime I visit a site containing some Flash content, Firefox freezes and I'm forced to kill the process. It appears that SELinux is preventing Firefox from accessing /opt/firefox/plugin-container. This started happening after I installed the Flash plugin. When run Firefox from the terminal, I get the following output:
I figured this was a problem with the 'xulrunner' package so I reinstalled it. No luck there.Code:/opt/firefox/plugin-container: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/firefox/libxul.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
Soon, SELinux started complaing about an AVC denial caused by Firefox. Here's what is says:
I ran the suggested command with no luck as well. I'll reboot and try 'restorecon' again but I don't think I'll have much luck. What do you guys think of this?Code:SELinux denied access requested by /opt/firefox/plugin-container. /opt/firefox/plugin-container is mislabeled. /opt/firefox/plugin-container default SELinux type is usr_t, but its current type is usr_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem. If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package. Allowing Access: You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the restorecon command. restorecon '/opt/firefox/plugin-container'. Fix Command: /sbin/restorecon '/opt/firefox/plugin-container'
P.S. I get this 'AVC Denial' complaint from SELinux all the time on my other Fedora 13 machine. What the heck is it?

first check if you change Selinux to Permsive mode is all working.(setenforce 0)
if yes
try to upgrade/reinstall the firefox.
if no
try to run resuce mode /repair

in /etc/selinux/config is SELINUXTYPE set to targeted or strict?

To root99:
SELinux is currently in enforcing mode. Wouldn't setting it to permissive mode be dangerous since all it would do then is warn me without taking any action?
To scentos:
SELINUXTYPE is set to targeted.

hey it's just for a few seconds to see if it's still crash when Selinux is in Permesive mode.
don't leave it too long without Seclinux enable (security )
