If you really want to stop advertising consider this modification of your HOSTS file. All ads are redirected to 'nul' (?)

Note: on my machine sometimes ad supported videos won't play. For me the solution was to write a small BAT (batch) file that toggles my current fully modified HOSTS file with a blank generic one. I have to shut down my browser (FF4), run the BAT file then reopen. I repeat the process to re-engage ad blocking.
