That would be Alan not me. There's where the confusion came in. Ghostery was mentioned, I mentioned trying it, did try it and then posted the results for me. The thread sort of went slightly off topic for just a bit. Firefox does get slow and I have removed some unused addons but some I just have to have. If I can find time and figure out which one, maybe I can send some feedback and let the two addons devs hash out the problem. It may make both addons better for everyone, not just little ole me.
