I made a Stylish userstyle of your custom.css version:

(Stylish is a Firefox extension similar to AdBlock, except that it is more general purpose)

I think the instructions should be revised to match what Dennis said: facebook.com#*(class=adcolumn)

Hmmm, after tinkering with the settings I don’t think that adding facebook.com#*(social_ad) and facebook.com#*(social_ad_advert) actually does anything – it appears that subscribing to EasyList is what is actually blocking the ads on Facebook?

Thanks! The new American Apparel ad drove me to do something about these ads, and I’m glad I found your excellent instructions.

I’m so happy— you have made my day, thank you. Just because I changed my status to “single” recently, facebook thinks I am miserable without a relationship. I spent quite a bit of time trying to “tell” them that I find every single ad they send me “offensive”, but they don’t seem to listen or care. This is discouraging and not good for them in the long run, I fear. Ironically, very, very poor marketing on their part.
Does anyone know of a way to contact these morons directly, like a customer service department? (ha, ha, ha–right!)

I can not thank you enough for doing this. This has been quite a bother for many reasons and now it is gone. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What a blessing.
