For Moz you want this page:

Configurable Security Policies:
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html>

Suppose you're annoyed by pop-up advertisements and want to prevent all
web pages from opening new browser windows. You can do this by adding the
following line to your Mozilla preferences file (prefs.js): 

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open", "noAccess");
--

It's also worth reading the examples at the end of the page for things
like preventing web pages from resizing browser windows, moving browser
windows and finding your screen resolution and color settings.

Or the latest version of the Internet Junkbuster has the ability to
control pop-ups, amongst other thing.
