Mozilla pops up message about ad.doubleclick.net

Details
At certain web sites (naturally I can't find one just now), I think near the end
of the page-loading process, Mozilla sometimes pops up a small message box
indicating that it is unable to contact ad.doubleclick.net. Now, I believe the
following statements are true:
1. I'm pretty sure my computer is not infected with adware from Doubleclick.
2. Doubleclick serves advertisements upon request by other web sites.
3. Doubleclick has been targeted with DOS attacks.
The implication is that while loading a page from a desired site, some data is
being requested by that page from the doubleclick site -- but DOS has caused the
request to fail. Thus the popup from Mozilla. I do not consider this to be a
bug. However...
WHAT I WANT: The ability to specify to Mozilla a list of such sites to never
bother trying to access, even if requested by a desired Web page. First on the
list would be ad.doubleclick.net! Thank you!!!
