Firefox v44.0.2 will not start today. It worked fine yesterday. (I am using Opera at the moment.)
One thing I looked at yesterday was adding firefox to AppArmor. I could not figure out how it worked and thought that I had canceled my efforts; perhaps not.
$ firefox &

What permission is needed?basename $0
There is no problem using these utilities from the command line. For instance:
$ /usr/bin/basename /usr/bin/firefox
firefox
$ ll /usr/bin/firefox*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 19 04:35 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib64/firefox/firefox.sh*
$ ll /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.2K Feb 16 11:35 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.sh*
I can start firefox directly:
$ /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox &

from what repo did you install firefox from
zypper se -se firefox
post your repo list
zypper lr -d
there was a security update for firefox from the update repo I updated and had no issues.
There should have been no updates since last Friday (11-Mar-2016). I perform updates once a week.
$ zypper se firefox

Firefox is up to 45 from the update repo, you probably have an incomplete update

you also have a couple of 13.2 repo’s they might be disabled but you might have some mixed packages, you should remove 2 7 8 9 too as it’s not needed after install and then run zypper dup with the 42.1 update repo
sudo zypper rr 2 7 8 9
sudo zypper dup --from 11 --from 1
15 will become 11 after you remove 4 bad repo’s

Please do not oversee the fact that he reported that he played with Apparmor.
I ran a system update. It included that update of Firefox to v45.0. It made no difference.
I suspect that the toying with AppArmor has cause the problem. Although I have no clue how that may have happened. What should I inspect?

I’ve never used apparmor, and strangely enough when I try to launch manage existing profiles apparmor crashes on me lol
I opened AppArmor, found an entry for </usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.sh>. Deleted it.
Firefox runs normally now.
