With the uMatrix plugin I can enable/disable connections to websites, also 
when they are backdoor third party to another website. So you can disable the 
connections to e.g. FB and that works on all their websites and their business 
partners. It works on IceCat, possibly also on IceDove and Firefox.

Best regards,
