There are really just two security models: 1) accept eveything except that
which is explicitly rejected, and 2) reject everything except that which is
explicitly accepted. The original poster wants a simple easy to use method
to switch between these models. This discussion seems to have gone off track
a little.
I agree with the poster. Mozilla currently treats security as a low priority
item. It should be of the highest priority.
This seems like a UI issue.
