That would be Alan not me. There's where the confusion came in. |
| 49 |
Ghostery was mentioned, I mentioned trying it, did try it and then |
| 50 |
posted the results for me. The thread sort of went slightly off topic |
| 51 |
for just a bit. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Firefox does get slow and I have removed some unused addons but some I |
| 54 |
just have to have. If I can find time and figure out which one, maybe I |
| 55 |
can send some feedback and let the two addons devs hash out the |
| 56 |
problem. It may make both addons better for everyone, not just little |
| 57 |
ole me. |
