you cant block certain files that are display (embedded) in a webpage, well not as far as i know anyway

as for ad blocking i find XP Pop Up block is good :) the one that comes with XP

If not try MSN or Google bar

RE: block gifs/ads?
Okay. I am using firefox too and I almost never see ads. I have Adblock and NoScript which block all the ads and pop-ups I think. Try them and see if they help. You will have to build up a list of filters in Adblock to get it to block most ads. I can give you my list if you need them. You can use "*" as a wildcard. eg: http://rad.msn.com/* (removes all ads in hotmail)

Check out the Firefox forums, Marissa - there's heaps of threads, perhaps one will have a fix.
