Icon relocates after FireFox restart

I'm a new Ghostery (ver 5.1.0) user. I'm running FireFox 26.0 on Windows 7, 64-bit. I have the Ghostery icon on a custom toolbar.

Every time I restart FireFox the Ghostery icon (if there is a Space following it) relocates to the end (right) of the toolbar.

The problem occurs when no other Extensions are loaded. Icons for most other Extensions don't have this problem.

Thanks.

    Correction: The Ghostery icon doesn't move to the end of the toolbar, rather it moves after the following Space.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for using Ghostery!

    Can you attach a screenshot so I can see the before and after?

    Do you use any custom desktop theme?

    Thanks!

    Hello Pete.

    I responded via email on 2/06. Perhaps you didn't get it?

    I do not use any custom desktop theme, just the default.

    I have attached 3 screen snapshots. The first is with my normal Firefox setup. Please note that there is not space on either side of the Ghostery icon. I am able to restart Firefox without anything changing.

    The second snapshot shows that I have added a “Space” after the Ghostery icon. As long as I don’t restart Firefox, everything is fine.

    The third snapshot show what happens after I restart Firefox. Please note that the Ghostery icon has moved from before, to after, the “Space”.

    I did not include snapshots of this, but I also tried inserting multiple “Space” items, instead of just one. After restarting Firefox, the Ghostery icon has moved after all of the “Space” items.

    Thanks, John

    A similar problem happen with my SeaMonkey and Firefox browsers. The same problem happens not just in one pc, but in 2. The Ghostery's (ver. 5.1.0) icon relocates after I restart my browsers!

    Below there are a couple of screenshots (before it relocates and after):





    Thanks.

    P.S. with the old Ghostery version 2.9.4 the above did not happen. Also I forgot to mention that my OS is windows 7 and that I use a custom desktop theme.
