Hi guys, could you please give us general specs of your machines? Also, have any of you tried Ghostery on a clean profile as explained here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles? Thanks!

Laptop: Win 7 64, Firefox 22, dual core: 1 core 100% (50% total)
Updated Firefox to 23, no change.
My desktop: Win 7 64, Firefox 23, quad core: idle (~0% total)
No problem at all on the desktop.
Fresh profile on laptop has exact same result.-
Ok, so the next question is configuration of Ghostery. Are you running it in blocking mode or not? Thanks for helping us!

Scan and block embed and object tags enabled
Look for and prevent redirection enabled- view 6 more comments

Same problem here with the 13 Aug update a couple of hours ago. Ghostery 5.0.1. 50-75% cpu usage with browser lock up. Running OS4, kernel 3.2.0-51-generic (Ubuntu 12.04 clone), AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, 1372 MiB ram w/2098 MiB swap. Firefox 23.0 w/ Adblock+, NoScript, BetterPrivacy. Had to disable Ghostery.

I've also had the issue, Firefox 23, on Win 7 32bit. AMD Athlon 64 3500+ with 2GB ram.
A clean profile seemed ok, (I only used it for a few minutes) Hopped back to my default profile and fiddled around with my addons. I had already disabled a handful of them (TinEye, Feedly, Stylish) and it was not till I disabled Ghostery that the 100% CPU usage went away. A bit more poking around, enabling Ghostery pushed the CPU back to 100%, at which point I disabled Adblock Plus, which dropped the CPU usage to under 50%.
Switching back to the clean profile, added Adblock Plus, and after restarting Firefox, 100% usage!
So there seems to be at least on my system a weird interplay between Ghostery and Adblock Plus causing the insane CPU usage.-
Thanks for the report, we'll be looking at this issue.

Same problem. Began immediately after upgrading to Ghostery 5.0.1. Disabling the addon and restarting firefox eliminates the issue. Will revert.

5.0.1 Same issue as the others. 100% CPU usage on OS X 10.8.4, FF24B2. Reverted to FF 23 release but same issue. Disable/remove Ghostery fixes the problem. New profile with only Ghostery = no problem. New profile with Ghostery + Adblock Plus = 100% CPU. Disabled Ghostery for the time being.
