Re: block file system browsing
First of all, I'm not sure you really need to.
Linking from internet content to file:// and chrome: is already blocked by Gecko's built-in URI policy, and anyway cross-site leakage should be prevented (most of the time) by the usual same-site policy.
Stock blocking chrome: and resource: can be problematic for browser stability, too, anyway you may still want to try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145 (even though it's not marked as 3.1 compatible - yet?)

Re: block file system browsing
I know this is a bit late but wouldn't what the OP is asking be accomplished simply by going to about:config and finding the element noscript.mandatory and deleting its content which will make the items "deletable" or blockable in NoScript itself and that way the OP can just block it that way without adding new addon? Am I missing something?
