posted 6 years agoRécemment, tous les add-ons de Firefox ont été désactivés. Ceci est un bug de la part de Firefox et a affecté tous les add-ons; y compris Ghostery. Un correctif 66.0.4 a été publié. Assurez-vous donc que votre Firefox est à jour. Contactez-nous pour toute question par courrier électronique à support@ghostery.com, merci!- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14789474, 6 years ago

DO NOT USE IT.
There are better alternatives out there; like uBlock.Developer response

posted 6 years agoWe are actively investigating the issue here. This issue was introduced with Firefox 65.0.2. We haven't done a release in about a month on Firefox. Here is the bugzilla ticket if anyone wants to follow along: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535589
We could use your help in diagnosing the problem: If you could go to `about:crashes` in Firefox and send us the crash ID from the crash report. That would be such a help!Developer response

We are working on resolving. sorry for the inconvenience. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14696411, 6 years agoNewest version of I believe Firefox causing immediate crashing upon opening the browser. As previous reviews have said, opening in safe mode and then disabling or removing the add-on solves the issue. Good app, but current bug makes it unusable at the moment.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14642163, 6 years agoThe old Ghostery was excellent; however it was removed and I was told that if I wanted to have a better one; to pay $2.00 and give-up all my personal information to Mozilla/Firefox. I thought about it for awhile and decided to look at their contract but it was nowhere to be found.
