Since it's posting here, here is another copy of the post.

I may be mistaken and this is possibly only a Firefox thing, but Ghostery 5.0.4 with Firefox 23 or 24 appears to be responsible for repeatedly spamming Console with hundreds of these messages per second. Just noticed, or would have reported this with the upgrade from the 2.9.6 to the 5.0.4 (or the 5.0.3.) I don't remember seeing any of these messages with the 5.0.3 (or the 2.9.6), but it's possible the 5.0.3 was doing this as well--I don't bother looking in the logs unless there's some noticeable problem. I am concerned, however, since this is filling up the logs with these repeated error messages and consuming drive space.

OSX 10.6.8

This is only a small excerpt showing from one "error: ghostery: An exception occurred" to the next. Not sure what to make of any of this.
