After installing the latest Firefox update yesterday, I find that Ghostery is identifying up to 90 trackers on some websites: is this Firefox?
Some websites previously had 15-20 trackers (as identified by Ghostery); now the majority have 60+, and many have 90+ (eg. nationalnewswatch.com has 95, http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ is showing 104, and cbc.ca is up to 109 - I believe yesterday it was at 16 or 18). On the other hand, support.mozilla.org shows just 2. Needless to say, loading the websites is taking way too much time. Is this a Firefox "fix", or is something up with Ghostery? TNX, Bob

Maybe enable tracking protection in Firefox instead.
It appears to be resolved once I shut down and restarted the browser: it had frozen completely on a scienceblog (Greg Laden) site with 109 trackers attempting to load; once restarted, the normal 12 trackers appeared in Ghostery, and cbc.ca is back to normal with 14. TNX anyway, Bob
Same troubles today: Ghostery appears to be accumulating the trackers from page to page. However this does seem to have been a problem with Ghostery itself. A new version 5.4.4 for Firefox was pushed out this morning and seems to have resolved the issue.
I am having trouble logging into some of my trusted sites after downloading Ghostery for Firefox version 5.4.9! PLEASE HELP!!
