I looked into it the other day (If you know any JavaScript, grab patch maker, it makes modifying mozilla's ui code simple), and while it's not that hard to do, I decided to hold off doing the code myself because when I did a little digging I found something interesting. If you look in bugzilla someone is working on a Security panel under navigator in the prefs. If you actually go into the xul and js files, you can turn it on. It's just <!-- commented out --> at the moment because it doesn't do anything functional. What it will eventually allow you to do is add sites to specific security zones. In those zones you will most likely be able to disable any command... From popups to html input boxes (I think). The back end is there, it just needs a LOT of front end JavaScript work. Think of the pref panel as the security zones in IE, but a lot more powerful. If you want to modify it the file is called pref-policies.xul and you can just uncomment out the <treeitem /> code in preftree.xul to see it.
