When I do this and then start the notebook, I see

  .../local/bin/sage-native-execute: line 8: firefox: command not found

This works for me:

  export SAGE_BROWSER='open -a /Applications/Firefox.app'

(Change this to the path to the firefox app, if necessary.) The 
documentation apparently needs to be fixed, at least as far as OS X is 
concerned.
