Firefox Ghostery 2.9.3 scripts are not responding
Dear Ghostery, I used an older version of your magnific addon for more than a year. Everything worked fine. Recently, I reinstalled Windows, put 2.9.3 on my firefox, and now it's freezing every 15 second, displaying messages the Ghostery scripts are not responding. How can I find an older version, or is any other solution to this problem?Thanx

Greetings Antonio,
Thanks for using ghostery!
Which version of Windows are you using?Comment -

> Thanks for using ghostery!
Thank you for developing it :)
Windows 7, x64 -

I'm running the same set-up and can't replicate the issue... any other addons installed? is it happening on a certain type of page? lost of videos?
-
-
I have social fixer and adblock, but I've had them before, and they worked fine with Ghostery.
The problems appeared on facebook. -
-
Same problem, everything worked fine until the update!

Hi JS,
What is your operating System? -

when using the latest firefox on a fresh install of windows xp pro that's up-to date, trying to go to another page or site, results in a lag and then a pop-up small screen stating : A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery-common.js:1206 followed by two choices of continue or stop script. Upon stopping this script user control returns to normal until another web page is addressed !!!
Please advise a fix for this as i really used to be fond of this great plug in for firefox. would disabling it be of any help, or should i maybe just remove it ???
E-mail me back at benniedeball@gmail.com Thanks for your help and time.i am using firefox 19.0.2

Hi Antonio,
Sorry for the delay.. as I said earlier.. I can't replicate the issue.. I haven't seen the non-responsive script yet actually.. Can you try creating a new profile in Firefox and see if you still get the same script error? -

I keep getting messages on my Mac (OS X 10.8.3) running Firefox (19.0.2) that a script is not responding which I can quit or wait for. Examples of scripts noted as problems are:
resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:434
resource://gre/modules/services-sync/engines/prefs.js:219
I disabled BetterPrivacy, DoNotTrackMe, and TrackMeNot but with no improvement. Help would be welcome.
thx,
d.

Ghostery seems to hang with this page:
https://marakana.com/s/post/1393/slid...
After a moment, firefox (iceweasel 20.0) proposes me to stop the script showing:
chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery-common.js:1206
I also tried disabling all extensions but ghostery with the same result

This occurs randomly for me, but if I remember correctly only when I do a google search. I will report back if I see it elsewhere.

Firefox 20.0.1

I tried with a blank profile, with only ghostery, but no lock. I notice that the particular page I cited is particularly heavy (1.5Mb in a single html). Maybe just a performance problem, if I answer "continue" one (or, sometimes more times), firefox seems to be responsive again.

I am on a Mac...use Firefox 20 and whenever I get to Redbubble..I get this script error: Script: chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery-common.js:714
and
a box with two blank spaces and Firefox freezes..can't even quit - have to reboot my browser.
Any suggestions would be appreciated because this is annoying.

Did you try the new profile?
-
-
Yes and it is still happening. At first, it was with Redbubble but the problem has now evolved to many browser pages. If I open a new file window...it freezes.

I hate this Microsoft-like, blame-something-else-and-reboot suggestion. As many have noted, Ghostery and Firefox were playing well together until the Ghostery update, not a change to our profiles.
; \-
Understood.. We are trying to figure out the root cause.. I have this configuration and have not gotten the script error once. So, there has to be a formula as to the cause. Not passing blame, just trying different things.

Hi Zachary,
Thanks for using Ghostery!
Do you notice if it happens when you have been idle for sometime? or is it right when you get to a page? -
-
it is right when you open the page. Thanks

Script: chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery.js:215
I thought it was a faceplant issue (FB), but while it does occur there, I am now noticing it elsewhere, like on webmail.
XP Pro, SP3, FF latest for XP (or the latest I can load), 12.0.
Full copy of the screen:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery.js:215
Now.....I have avoided chrome like the plague, just BECAUSE it's google. Why does this say chrome?- view 3 more comments

Hi outcast..
Sorry for the delay..
I am testing a new version that we are hoping addresses the script errors.. if you would like to shoot me an email pete@ghostery.com I can send you the build if you would like to try it out.. -

Ah HA! I just found chrome in the ghostery files, which are under the FireFox heading.
I see it's in a "profile", with a name I don't know, full path to the "profile"(after the private bits):
Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ukuebs6k.default
Full path down to the folder, then contents:
C:\Documents and Settings\Xxxxxxxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ukuebs6k.default\extensions\firefox@ghostery.com
Components
Defaults
Chrome
META-INF
Resource
Chrome.manifest
and on, and on.
Renamed the 'chrome" folder, to stop access, see how ghostery works now. Let ya know. -

I placed this also by a [solved] topic with the same errors, later I thought I place a new toppic to get answers... it'better than visitors see its solved and never watching... and with a link of 166 characters I had to go to Tinyurl.com for my Topic-title.
I haven't read all messages of Mozilla (http://tinyurl.com/cxnpgle), but are the errors of Ghostery faults of the API-use of Mozilla or from the use of Ghostery. Because every time if I visit a (porno) site I have some errors like freezing. With those errors I cannot visit this forum because I have to give the visiting URL (which are above 18+) :).
This time Firefox froze totally because of this message:
Script: chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery-common.js:714
In general my fro-zing screens should have the above problems, I think..... Do we have to awake 'Mozilla Firefox' also with our errors or will the Ghostery-team do that for us? By the way I use FF20 on Ubuntu.
In genenral I'm very happy with Ghosery I only do not understand the different with a widget, because Ghostery uses for every blocking 'xyz' the word 'tracker' Is p.e. a widget as a Twitter-button a tracker? If so, I cannot find the different between other trackers like Google-analytics.... I block all!! :)))

A "tracker" is some sort of page element known to appear on a number of websites, capable of tracking you across all the websites it appears on.
Ghostery breaks down trackers into several categories, of which "widgets" is one. Visit Ghostery's options page, and hover over category titles in the tracker list on the bottom of the options page to see Ghostery's descriptions for its tracker categories.
In the future, Ghostery will further categorize its trackers to facilitate deciding what to block and what not to block. -

I have a problem with facebook freezing lately, I have disabled click-to-play options as recommended with no change. This is the notification that pops up. Script: file:///C:/Users/Eric/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/9yus0g1m.default/extensions/firefox@ghostery.com/components/ghostery-content-policy.js:66 It then asks me to stop script or continue, all the while the page stays frozen or severely lagging.
