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.
