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!- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14696855, 6 years ago

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.

Ghostery does not track or store personal data.

posted 6 years agoIn order for Ghostery to block trackers and ads, it needs to be able to detect and take action on elements of a web page as you browse. We do not record sensitive information, record browsing history, or disclose user data. Note that despite the prompt being new, Ghostery is not introducing any new permissions with the update. Would you mind sending an email to support@ghostery.com so we can look into your other concerns? Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14584832, 6 years agoCauses SEVERE slowdowns and increases loading times on nearly all webpages. Does not perform well at all. Would not recommend to anyone. The moment I uninstalled the extension, Firefox was immediately faster and smoother. I'll go back to using other extensions. Avoid Ghostery.
EDIT:
I reached to Ghostery support. I'll update if they reply with a solution. For now I am still firmly under the impression that their add-no does not provide a faster experience. Yes, it blocks trackers and ads, but my experience was very slow and unusable.Developer response
