(Get the code!)
Yes, I was thinking that too, but then it gets progressively more involved. You'd need new messages for file:// and resource:// and all other non HTTP(S) schemes as well. Doable, but not for FF3 as you noted, so I didn't bother to suggest it.
about:blank is probably the top non-web page users will end up at, and it's the only one that simply disabling it makes any sense. While technically about:blank is a page, it's not really something a user would consider, as there is nothing in the address bar.
If it's eventually decided that it won't be disabled in this instance, then just rename this report to something like "make identity/favicon button tell users when they're at a local file or system page" and just file it away as an enhancement for future. ;)
