When you are annoyed by huge graphical ads smack in the middle of an article. Or perhaps don’t want to waste bandwidth viewing the dozens of images in a review, or user icons in forum boards.  Firefox’s RIP extension  can remove them for good with a single click, which zaps anything out of a Web page, permanently.
First, you will need to download the R.I.P. extension from the Firefox add ons gallery.
For the Big banner at the top to do so, right click on the border of the banner, but not the actual banner itself. That is important, because otherwise, you will not receive the correct drop down menu. After you’ve right clicked on the border, the above menu will appear. Go down and hover over the option that reads Remove It Permanently. You will notice that the banner will flash a red border. That’s just letting you know what will be removed. Click Remove It Permanently and voila, it’s gone!
Now, just in case you ever do accidentally delete something you need, you can undo it by right clicking and selecting Undo Last R.I.P. Finally, if you go up to the Tools menu, followed by R.I.P. Options, you will see a list of all your R.I.P.s, where you can delete them, export them, import them or share them with your friends.
