How is that?  It works fine without Ghostery?  What I suspect is
happening, Ghostery and some other addon clashes.  I suspect that if I
removed the other addons and installed Ghostery, it would work fine. 
After all, if it was as slow as it was when I installed it for everyone
else, people would be complaining, a lot.  It renders Firefox basically
unusable.  I just don't have time to test it to see which one it clashes
with right now. 

I have quite a few addons installed.  This isn't the first time I've had
two addons clash.
