Restrict Firefox Access to Local Disk Drives in Linux

I used to be able to modify the browser.js file and use regular expressions with onLocationChange to restrict access to about:, file:, and resource: I am unable to locate where to make the changes to have this same behavior in Firefox 4.

I need to configure the browser to deny access to local disks under Linux (e.g. file://usr/local/data) I also need to prevent my users from using about: and file: in order to meet corporate security requirements.

I have exploded the omni.jar file, and looked for some time. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
