Is labelling the .adobe location correct here? I got the impression from
the discussion that this might not be the way to go taking into account
that other domains need access to the .adobe location as well.

Yes i like dwalshs' idea of trying to make it so that mozilla plugin
doesnt need to access mozilla home content

Since it seems that mozilla plugin might need to exec/mmap/execmod
plugin files i decided to try and label that content with a new
mozilla_plugin_home_t type

mozilla plugin can exec/mmap that content and conditionally execmod it

I have also taken your comment about application needing access to
~/.adobe and that people do not trust flash

And so i think i am meeting halfway with this solution. It is not such a
bug problem if other browsers need access to mozilla_plugin_home_t ( not
as big of a problem than them needing access to mozilla_home_t)

but the content still have a private type so that we can block access to
it

A seperate flash_home_t type is giving too much credit to adobe ( I just
think its not needed a generic mozilla_plugin_home type for all those
plugins should be fine i believe)
