Although this isn't particularly Debian-specific, assuming the video in question is in fact from ads rather than from intentional page content, it sounds like you want Adblock Plus. It's available from the official Mozilla add-ons Website: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ and is also available as a Debian package: apt-get install xul-ext-adblock-plus It's one of several add-ons which I consider an essential part of any Firefox / Iceweasel installation I'm going to actually use on a regular basis. For more complete and comprehensive blocking I also use NoScript, but that adds rather more hassle for making things continue to work, and it's not always necessary for this purpose. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
