Looking for a simple content blocker extension

Hi, I’m looking for an extension that will give me the ability to block a short list of host names similar to the Content Blocker feature in the legacy Opera browser. http://help.opera.com/Linux/12.10/en/contentblock.html

In old opera you could right-click on a frame or image and choose “block this”. That would open a small dialog to confirm the URL pattern you wanted to block and that was that.

I don’t want to use an adblocker or blocking list. I just want to be able to easily block some very specific content origins (domains/URLS).

Is there anything like this for Firefox?

You can block images from a specific domain via "Tools > Page Info", Media and Permissions tabs.

Or see this add-on search for "content blocker" to see what is available.

None of these add-ons behaves anywhere near what I described.
