5. Click on Ghost icon and try to disable some of the trackers.

This bug is similar to bug 1066223. In addition to issues mentioned there, nightly stops responding when using Ghostery. I had to forcibly close nightly.

Moved to e10s, maybe e10s-addons in the future if it's an issue in Ghostery.

It's not unresponsive for me, just extremely slow. Seems to only occur in Nightly.

Seems I got a similar problem. I'm using Firefox nightly 51.0a1.20160804 from Arch Linux's unofficial repository, [1] which in turn uses Mozilla's tarball. [2] Sometimes (<10%) all tabs goes unresponsive. There's only a gray rolling gear in the center of a page. Some observations:

1. htop says both firefox and plugin-container processes have low CPU usages and in state S (sleep).
2. about:addons works fine. My newtab plugin, which overrides about:newtab via NewTabURL.jsm works fine as well. I guess it's because Chrome windows run in the main process?
3. Killing plugin-container triggers all tabs reloaded

I'd like to dive into this problem more. How can I determine why plugin-container is not responding? I know some basic gdb usages and have experiences in building mozilla-central from sources.

Hi shell, did you mean bug 1101189?

Ghostery is now a WebExtension and I don't think this bug is relevant anymore, please file a new bug if you are encountering bugs on a latest version.
