I know an exact name/address (media.fastclick.net) of a pop-up that always gets past Firefox's pop-up blocker. Is there a way to specifically block that site from ever showing up?

I pulled this from a forum, listed in Source(s) below. The Policy Manager utility allows you to restrict your browser from accessing any site you define on your restricted list. IE does this from within its security settings in Internet Options.

Hello rubbz,
There are a couple of security-related Firefox extensions that you might be interested in:
*noscript - Allows you to "whitelist" web sites so that javascript runs only on those sites you trust:

*policymanager - Allows you to set web site policies - similar to IE's security zones:

The Firefox Cookie Manager allows you a lot of flexibility in how you handle cookies:
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies
To block third party cookies, make sure that "Allow sites to set Cookies" and "for the originating sites only" are both checked (see attachment below).
If you click the "Exceptions" button, you can specify cookie settings for individual web sites.
