Chosen solution

Yes. You can do it with the NoScript addon:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../noscript/

You will have to set it up with a custom rule so that script is blocked only on that 1 site.

You can also look at Adblock Plus to hide such ads.

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).
