Blocking URL's, FireFox, and/or removing hot-linked sites?

Get Ad Muncher.

You can "prevent page retrieval" of certain sites. Works like a charm for some annoying ad severs that slip through Ad Muncher's extensive filters.

Well, in Internet Explorer, you go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites. Add the sites to it, it should block them in IE now.

But as I recall, there's also a hosts file that you can use. I think it's the same thing, but affects more then just IE. Not sure, but think so. You can edit this file, and remove all references to the website. Not sure how to do that, but if you google windows hosts file, you should get some answers on it.

I use Firefox.

Also, I looked at the actual hosts file already (per another's suggestion) and it had nothing in it. It's redirecting me another way.
