Hi,

I just downloaded and installed in /usr/local Firefox 3.6.4 on a F12 and when I try to run
it it gives a SElinux error:

SELinux denied access requested by /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin.
/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin is mislabeled.
/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin defaultSELinux type is usr_t,
but its current type is usr_t.

I don't understand the "It's usr_t but it should be usr_t"

I tried the suggestion of  "/sbin/restorecon '/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin'"
but It doesn't change anything. The old firefox had exactly the same type and it still works.

It's a standard updated F12 and runs kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE and
selinux-policy-3.6.32-118.fc12 (I also still have the firefox-3.5.10-1.fc12 installed)

Any advice?

Thanks,
GianPiero
