It might be a problem interacting with Xephyr?

One idea would be to run in permissive mode and see if everything works
properly?  If they do then it might be a denial against the X Server
that is causing your problem.  If not, then it is probably Xephyr/X Setup.

You could run something like

 sandbox -X -t sandbox_web_t -W metacity xterm

Then run firefox withing the xterm and see if it complains about anything.
