Block settings not working properly

Why does Ghostery not include all blocked items when the browser is restarted. I have to go into it every time and click the block all even though it is already checked for it to include all block-able items. I do not have a custom white list set or or customs filters.

    Bob, thanks for using Ghostery.

    Do you press save when you change options? Also, what addons are you running, perhaps there is something that resets the saved settings.

      Thanks Felix for your reply. The block list will keep most of the blocked items checked, but it will not keep all of them checked some of them will be not be blocked at times therefore I have to open the options and then check block all again. The block items remained checked on the block all but some will not be checked if you look at the individual items. Thats when I recheck the block all list although it still indicates the all items are blocked even though some will not have the check box showing this. Its like I got a ghost in the machine so to speak.(no pun intended but is humorous). I do have Firefox configuration customised for faster surfing but have not changed any Ghostery settings. Im not sure how much you know or have experienced with the configuration setting in Firefox but you can make it extremely fast for browsing and downloading. Please by all means pass any info you have on and I will definately research it.

      Thanks Kindly Bob

      Not sure why this is occuring, tho I do have beta version of the next major release ready for testing if you wish. The new release uses a different options menu, and might resolve the issue you are having. If you want to try it, please email me at felix@betteradvertising.com so I could send you a copy.
