Blocking web page content in Firefox possible?

I use Adblock Plus and Flashblock in Firefox. Together, they are able to block most content I don't want to see. However, some websites are managing to get round them. For example: text advertising (Yahoo), the pleas for donations on Wikipedia, some scripts that create an animated window that slide up from the bottom containing an advert and the likes of eBay and HSBC where there is always a consistent part of their page dedicated to adverts.

Since Adblock and Flashblock are able to effectively screen and filter what's in the HTML, is it possible to meddle with Firefox and write in some filters? I know it can block images but the Adblock custom filter works better for this and I'd like to be able to filter the scripts as well. It's annoying because I can't think of an example of somewhere that does it to give you an example.

Or is there an Add-on that can do this?
