While I am having problems with facebook and loads of unwanted ads, is there any way I can permanently block certain websites or ads from Firefox?

Having a hosts file on Windows systems, and in Firefox use of the Adblock Plus extension with subscriptions are two major methods of blocking sites and/or files. With Adblock Plus you can block advertisements without blocking the site itself.
