You can install a separate python 2.6 stack - e.g: 
<http://pkgs.org/centos-5-rhel-5/epel-i386/python26-2.6.8-2.el5.i386.rpm.html>

This won't interfere with the default CentOS 5 python 2.4 install

I think the firefox build process looks for a 'python2.6' binary - if 
not, then just add a line to your mozconfig like:

PYTHON=python2.6

I didn't do this, as I already had access to a locally rebuilt 2.6 
install - but I guess the above should work, although I have no idea how 
much of the 2.6 stack will be required ...
