This thread went offline, however to bring things back online, it appears at least the binary download (running on SL6) of Firefox 5 just released does not work in the sandbox either.  The SELinux audit messages are:

The sandbox window starts up but crashes before any sign of FF materialises, works fine in permissive mode or unsandboxed otherwise.  I've put the FF binaries in /opt.

I do not think it will work since both sandbox an chrome use namespace
and chrome cant run if sandbox already runs in a namespace (or something
along those lines is my understanding if this issue)
