There are some nice and very effective ad-blocking rulesets for Firefox out there, and it would be very nice to be able to parse an externally generated filterset.
Did you know that you can copy and paste a bunch of lines of text into the blocked URLs list? Copy the rules you want to add, bring up OmniWeb's ad blocking list, click on the appropriate table, then use Paste (Command-V). Each line of text will be pasted as a new ad blocking rule.

Similarly, you can select all the lines and use Copy to get them as plain text. (So if you want, you can Copy everything out to a plain text editor, edit them to your liking, then Paste them all back in.)
