[Bug 911540] [NEW] about:memory displays a weird error due to lacking access to /proc/self/smaps

[Micah Gersten]

Public bug reported:

Please note, this only affects users when the apparmor profile is enabled.
"An error occurred when collecting a multi-reporter's results: [Exception... \"Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMemoryMultiReporter.collectReports]\"  nsresult: \"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)\"  location: \"JS frame :: chrome://global/content/aboutMemory.js :: getReportersByProcess :: line 295\"  data: no]"

The error should go away on Ubuntu after bug 911494 is fixed. Bug 911494
is about apparmor blocking access to /proc/self/smaps.  Upstream seems
interested in refining this message.

This bug is about refining the message rather than making it go away.
