I have the same bug from PDF document with HTTP links. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric and Firefox 13.0.
When i click on a link in a pdf document in evince i have the message :
"Impossible d'ouvrir le lien externe
L'exécution du processus fils « firefox » a échoué (Permission non accordée)"
and the link is not opened.

I have this line in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browsers :
/usr/lib/firefox-*/firefox.sh PUx,

And it should be
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh PUx,
or
/usr/lib/firefox*/firefox.sh PUx,

If i list /usr/lib I have :

# ls /usr/lib/ | grep firefox
firefox
firefox-3.6.10
firefox-addons

If I change the line in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browsers and restart apparmor it works.
