i have enabled firefox apparmor profile in linux mint, and one of log
messages about denied requests is sys_admin capability. firefox works
normally at its surface behavior, for me. how much bad things may
happen because it has not this capability?

i have found some information:
https://forums.whonix.org/t/why-does-the-tor-browser-apparmor-profile-have-sys-admin-sys-chroot-and-ptrace-capabilities/7409
:

"sys_admin will allow the Tor Browser to do a whole load of things
that it probably shouldn’t be able to."

"cap_sys_admin seems to be related to namespaces and seccomp which
firefox’s sandbox uses and cap_sys_chroot is needed for chroot which
firefox also uses.

These should probably be added back but those capabilities can be dangerous."
