Try adding something like the following to your Firefox profile's 
/chrome/userChrome.css file, and restart Firefox.

menuitem[label="Full Screen"]
{
     display: none;
}

I am not totally sure that will kill the F11 equivalent, but it will 
remove the menu option and I think take away the fkey as well.
