    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.

    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. That would be such a help!

    Op dit moment zorgt Ghostery ervoor dat Firefox direct na opstarten weer afgesloten wordt.

    Firefox stürtz mit diesem Add-On ständig ab...
  • by Firefox user 14696411, 6 years ago
    Newest version of I believe Firefox causing immediate crashing upon opening the browser. 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.
