STATUS: Currently not working properly. Installs fine and works generally good but there are some problems.

[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/|Ghostery]] is a firefox extension to detect and block trackers, cookies and bug fixes.

== Installation ==

Installing it requires to use force install, by deleting the MANIFESTs and changing the install.rdf file:

[[Extensions#ForcedInstall]]


You will also have to edit chrome.manifest to include this line:
{{{
overlay chrome://conkeror-gui/content/conkeror.xul chrome://ghostery/content/ghostery.xul application={a79fe89b-6662-4ff4-8e88-09950ad4dfde}
}}}


== Modifying ==

The official version uses a javascript pop-up that appears in the bottom status/toolbar in firefox, to manage the settings, activate/deactivate and a functionality to change the behaviour of the current trackers/cookies. In this case it is only provided the way to access the settings by adding the next text to the .conkerorrc file or folder.
{{{#!highlight javascript
interactive("ghostery",
            "Open Ghostery settings.",
            function (I) {
                browser_object_follow(I.buffer, OPEN_NEW_BUFFER, 'chrome://ghostery/content/options.html');
            });
}}}

== Notes ==

It is important to access the settings and disable every type of tracker and cookie (or whatever the user wants), because it is installed as "allow everything".
