Ghostery highlights the various advertising and demographic "trackers" which many websites run in the background, slowing loading as well as creating privacy concerns.
The newer versions of Firefox can do this through a menu setting, but I prefer the detail view Ghostery provides.

Thanks! I did install Ghostery yesterday on your recommendation. I like it. It blocks certain trackers. Why give your info to these people! Now Ghostery is blocking some or most.
I put Ghostery on maximum blocking for cookies and trackers
Ad Block Plus is also great..... My websites are loading faster. PLUS less memory is being used up by these advertisements. I see the amount of memory being used by Firefox in my windows task manager (Windows 7)

I will do the same as you and rely on Ghostery for this task
