Another way to block ads in Firefox.
Go to THIS PAGE and copy and paste the code to your userContent.css file.

How to locate and edit Configuration Files (userContent.css, userChrome.css, user.js) in Firefox

I did this a couple days ago, and so far it seems to be working even better than Adblock!

Hope this helps.

1. I never get pop ups using Firefox
What sites do you go to? It's those hardcore porn sites isn't it? Fess up now. :)

2. lol!
:silly:

I don't ever get any pop ups, but this seems to have almost completely eliminated all of those annoying flash banner ads, etc.

The pictures look much nicer now! :P

3. Do you just see an X where the banner ad should be?
Must make the pages load faster. That might be worth setting up the script. Quicker netporn is important! :evilgrin:

7. Too many false positives.
I always like to be very specific with ad blocking, since otherwise some legitimate stuff can get blocked. For example, in Wikipedia, images go into a random directory, so 1/256 of them go into /ad, which would be blocked by that CSS.
