The strange behavior is that when opening Firefox a Ghostery tab sometimes opens for reasons unknown to me. My Firefox Tools > Options > General tab shows Show My Home Page and the Home Page panel contains URLs for the 4 web sites that I want to open with Firefox (Eileen's is first, of course). I have no idea why the Ghostery tab opens. I can find nothing in the Ghostery options that would cause this, but that might be due to my short comings not their absence.
Even more strange is that fact that my blocking options are periodically removed thus allowing all the tracking tools back into my system. I notice this when the Ghostery panel pops up and the trackers are shown without a line through their names. I go to Tools > Add-ons and open the Ghostery options and reset the blocking restraints and all runs well for awhile. Then, it happens again.
If anyone else runs Ghostery and knows how to fix this glitch, I would appreciate your direction.
