It sounds like the address spoofing can be prevented by turning off
the IDN logic.

* in the URL window type: about:config
* in the new "Filter window" type: network.enableIDN
* in the main window click on the above variable
* in the main window, use the button-3 pull-down, select "toggle"
     the value should turn from true to false.

Exit mozilla to write out the new prefs.js file. (If mozilla crashes
before doing a graceful exit the changes won't be saved.)

Someone that understands the mozilla source tree might want to hunt
down this variable there and patch the defaults at the source.
