User Interface Changes

We pre-defined three model security policies: strict, moderate, and default, where default corresponds to Mozilla's behavior prior to our changes. When a user enables JavaScript in Advanced Preferences, she can now select one of these three security policies as her global security policy. Moreover, there is a table of site security policies, initially empty, where she can add, delete, or edit site security policy selections. This facility allows her to enter a hostname or URL in a text field and to mark a checkbox for the desired policy (strict, moderate, default).
