setting your language preferences (what can you read, what do you prefer, necessary for painless use of websites that do content negotiation)
Should this not be a system wide setting rather than browser specific? It isn't as if anyone would want their whole system to be in German, except the browser which is set to French... (Although I don't think the current situation of installing all languages for all applications is a great one - for public terminals it is reasonable to provide people access to all languages, but for personal workstations it is just a waste of disk space and bandwidth since most people only use one or two languages).
For instance, why would you want a website to disable your right-click menus? That's just dumb.
There are legitimate reasons in some cases - for example, Google Maps replaces the right-click menu with a context menu for the map itself rather than the standard browser context menu.
On the privacy side, I was disappointed to see the "Allow foreign cookies" option disappear from the FireFox user interface when FireFox 2 came along - you have to hack about in about:config to turn them off these days. I'm not sure there's any reason to allow them by default either, I always have foreign cookies turned off and I don't think I've found any websites that break.
