Security Policies allow users to permit or deny browser functionality (such as JavaScript capability) on a site-by-site basis. Firefox and the Mozilla suite provide for security policies via the Preferences System.

There is currently no official dialog-based user interface for the Policy Manager, although one is currently under construction. For Firefox, there is a third-party extension called Policy Manager which provides such an interface; it also allows for configuration of non-JavaScript functionality such as images, popups and cookies (which are not mentioned in the documentation below).
