like

I had more urls collected, but I lost them.

This appears to be a bug in the latest Ghostery for Firefox, to be fixed in the next update. Please double-check that your blocking preferences in Ghostery's options look right. This is a display issue only, and should not affect blocking.

Sorry for the trouble!

if it detcts the number of "likes", it loads a special url on the site. Given that specific url and my IP asking for it, it IS an blocking issue in my eyes....
Config is all "bugs" and cookies blocked, both enabled.

I see. We might have to update our patterns, or there might be some other issue. Felix, the principal Ghostery for Firefox developer, is coming back next week.

If there are any other examples of blocking not working, please post them here.

I can't find any issues related to the second site.

However, the first one more than makes up for that. :-)

You'll see explicit mention of:

There's also a web beacon:

VG WORT

More Info: https://tom.vgwort.de/portal/showHelp (see Einbauhilfe für anonyme Zählmarken)

Pattern: /\\.met\\.vgwort\\.de\\/na\\//

  Hi satisplaction,
  
  Do you use Ghostery for Chrome? If so, please see https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/...
  
  A fix is finally only days away.
