Since adding Ghostery and BetterPrivacy, can't access Bing maps. Has anyone else run into this and solved it?

The maps function starts to load but loops and never completes. No error msg.

If those extensions are working properly and cause problems then you need to uninstall them. You can also check the Options of them in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

I could not get Bing maps to load in Firefox with those extensions disabled.

In IE8 Internet Options, I had to reset Security settings to allow "Scripting > Active Scripting" and "Scripting > Scripting of Java applets", then I got a screen saying that I had to install Silverlight to see the "new Bing maps": http://www.bing.com/maps/?showupgrade=1 but I selected "No Thanks", then Bing Maps loaded. Also then loaded in IE Tab Plus in Firefox. A PITA if you ask me, just another MS "requirement"?

I use maps.google.com instead.
