15 I tried it on one profile I have and it was not good. It slowed Firefox
16 to a crawl. It took a good ten minutes just to get the add-ons manager
17 to open and me to disable Ghostery. Once I did that, it got better.

20 I suspect it clashes with another add-on I use. I'm not sure which one
21 so I'll have to play with it when I have more time to spend on it.
