The next bit would be enforcing it with an SELinux policy. Neither is impossible. If you really want to sandbox Firefox you will need to rebuild it in a way that doesn't require exmem access (which is ridiculous for a browser to need anyway, but both Chrome and Firefox demanded it the last time I checked...) and enforce that with an SELinux policy as well.
