Unrelated to our sandboxing work. Apparently this AppArmor thing breaks IPC.

This looks like Ubuntu's bug and not ours: they need to change the AppArmor policy in their firefox package to allow opening files in /dev/shm. (This is suggested on the downstream bug as a "workaround", but I think making a similar change in the package is the right way to actually fix it.)
