Blocking Facebook widgets but be able to use FB

Hi, my name is Andrés and although I've been using NoScript for about an year, this is the first time that I post anything in the forums. And I need some help...
The thing is that there are lots of sites which show their Facebook widget on their sites, with their avatar, like button and the avatars of those who like their page. NoScript shows that in those websites, scripts from facebook.com and fbcdn.net are loaded.
Well, basically, I'd like to block those widgets but still be able to use Facebook whenever I want, but I can't just block facebook.com and fbcdn.net from loading because I won't be able to use Facebook at all.
I think that AdBlock can be used to make it invisible (filter: facebook.com##.full_widget if anyone is interested), but that's not what I need. I need that Firefox didn't even load anything from Facebook (widgets, like buttons, etc.) only from third-party sites.
If anyone could help with this, I'd be grateful.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply. I didn't know much about ABE and never thought that I could do that with it but sorry for not reading all the FAQs.
NoScript rocks! :mrgreen:
