Summary:

SELinux is preventing firefox from making its memory writable and executable.

Detailed Description:

The firefox application attempted to change the access protection of memory
(e.g., allocated using malloc). This is a potential security problem. Firefox is
probably not the problem here ,but one of its plugins. You could remove the
plugin and the app would no longer require the access. If you figure out which
plugin is causing the access request, please open a bug report on the plugin.

Allowing Access:

There are two ways to fix this problem, you can install the nsspluginwrapper
package, which will cause firefox to run its plugins under a separate process.
This process will allow the execmem access. This is the safest choice. You could
also turn off the allow_unconfined_nsplugin_transition boolean.
setsebool -P allow_unconfined_nsplugin_transition=0

Fix Command:

yum install nspluginwrapper
