I belive some browser have this option, but you could always try editing the hosts file (google where is the host file "operating system") and redirect all the hits to the domain name to a different IP address (I would suggest 127.0.0.1)

FIRST GET FIREFOX AND ADBLOCK PLUS!!!!!
OR
//////////////////////////
Like a geek!
Ping the website in your CMD.exe
copy the ip address
Add a line to hosts file like this:
"127.0.0.1 X.X.X.X"
or change 127.0.0.1 to facebooks ip so it just redirects you back to face book

or the lame way
