    We 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 to suport@ghostery.com, that would be such a help!

    Firefox V 65.0.2 (im Win7-System mit AMD Phenom II 1090T) ) stürzt nach ca. 5 Sek. ab. Firefox mußte neu installiert werden, ohne Ghostery (letzte Version).
    Wenn man schnell ist und das Add-on (Ghostery) über die "Extras" > "Add-ons" > "Erweiterungen" nach dem Firefox-Start deaktiviert, bevor Firefox das Licht ausgeht, erspart man sich die Neuinstallation von Firefox. Dieser Fehler trat mit der neuesten Version 8.3.1 auf. Bei meinem Zweit-PC und beim Laptop (mit älteren Prozessoren) trat dieses Problem nicht auf.

    Nach dem heutigen Update (21.3.19) von Firefox von V 65.0.2 auf 66.0 schmiert Firefox nach der Intallation von Ghostery nicht mehr ab. Das Absturzproblem lag somit an Firefox V 65.0.2 selbst und nicht an Ghostery.
    Habe meine Bewertung von 1 Stern auf 5 Sterne für Ghostery korrigiert.
    In Zukunft ist kritisch zu beobachten, wenn Firefox aktualisiert wird.

    Wir untersuchen das Problem hier aktiv. Dieses Problem wurde mit Firefox 65.0.2 eingeführt. Wir haben seit ungefähr einem Monat keine Veröffentlichung auf Firefox vorgenommen. Hier ist das Bugzilla-Ticket, wenn jemand mitmachen möchte: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535589

    Wir könnten Ihre Hilfe bei der Diagnose des Problems gebrauchen: Wenn Sie in Firefox zu `about: crashes` gehen und uns die Absturz-ID aus dem Absturzbericht an suport@ghostery.com senden könnten, wäre das eine solche Hilfe!

    This plugin is owned by a big company and it's closed-source. DO NOT USE IT.
    There are better alternatives out there; like uBlock.
