Firefox Adblock Extensions

Extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to the Firefox web browser. They allow you to customize Firefox to fit your own needs and preferences. Here’s a list of the most popular and useful extensions for blocking ads:

• Adblock Plus
  Install Adblock Plus and get rid of ads and banners on the internet. You can create your own filters and also block flash and java elements. Or choose a filter subscription and most advertisements will be blocked fully automatically.

  Element Hiding Helper is a companion extension for Adblock Plus meant to make creating element hiding rules easier.

• Greasemonkey
  Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript. Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites, are already available at userscripts.org.

• Stylish
  Stylish allows easy management of user styles. It is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript. After you install it, it can be used to tweak the appearance of specific web sites as well as of sites globally. It is useful to reconfigure websites after the ads have been removed.

• Blocksite
  BlockSite is an extension, which automagically blocks websites of your choice. Additionally, it will disable all hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text without the clicking functionality. This extension adds the site blocking functionality that was removed from Adblock Plus.

• NoScript
  Allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice and guards the “trust boundaries” against cross-site scripting attacks.
