However, keep in mind the the COMBINATION of NoScript and Ghostery may - 
will - stop needed info being sent to your screen. I found this out the 
hard way last night.

I am waiting for the delivery of a new car I ordered and went here-

http://www.toyota.com.au/aurion?WT.ac=Tab2Aurion

to see the new "video" presentation of the car. However I couldn't see 
the display, but after fooling around with the Addons I found that by 
disabling NoScript and Ghostery together the "video" worked.

So, if you come across a site like the one above and cannot see what you 
are supposed to see then consider disabling Ghostery (you don't have to 
reboot FF after doing this - just refresh the web page) and then 
NoScript (but with NoScript you have to actually restart FF).
