This is a simple technique to block out some of Facebook's more annoying ads and unwanted junk. Grab a copy of Stylish for Firefox - or something equivalent to edit how websites appear (a CSS overriding tool) on whatever browser you prefer - and use the following code, or an equivalent:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") {

div.ego_column, .storyInnerContent.storyContent
{
display: none;
}
}

That should block out the right-hand ad bar, plus the wretched "Upcoming Events" in your feed. Sadly Facebook will no doubt break it soon, as they seem to change their design regularly just to stop this kind of thing, but I'll try to keep it up to date.

EDIT: And as predicted... I've crossed out the bit that's now liable to break things, by blocking actual messages in your feed. It worked fine two days ago. That's quick work.

EDIT 2: Fixed!

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") {

div.ego_column
{
display: none;
}

[title="Upcoming Events"], [title="Upcoming Events"]+div
{
display: none;
}

div[class^="_4"]
{
display: none;
}
}
