After Ghostery update, Firefox crashes and won't let me navigate with tabs. Add-on manager won't finish opening to let me get rid of Ghostery. How to resolve?

Question

Using Firefox 22, Ghostery auto-updated. It said there was a conflict with the Beef Taco add-on; when I went to disable the add-on, nothing worked properly. Now FF crashes constantly, won't allow me to use tabs properly, and the add-on manager won't finish opening to allow me to make changes to add-ons. How can I remove Ghostery without the manager? (Even this form isn't functioning properly to allow me to add information, sorry.)

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
