Like I mentioned before, the only site that I experienced the error on 
is news.aol.com - I did not add anything to any rules for SELinux so I 
would expect your system has a badly acting plug-in as was suggested by 
others. Yahoo did not seem to cause problems for me, but I do not use 
yahoo or have an account for the service.

The difference for me is seamonkey used to crash. It now keeps on 
logging denials. Firefox does crash on the same site as seamonkey used 
to crash on.

If you temporarily change your homepage to another location and bring up 
firefox or seamonkey does it crash or load successfully?

Maybe it is a bug with the browsers. I do not know, but it is not severe 
on my system.

The news.aol.com site generated the below raw messages for firefox.

For seamonkey news.aol.com repeatedly produces the below.
