Twitter, Firefox and Ghostery - Twitter often displays login prompt despite being logged in

Hello, I've recently been experiencing an issue with Ghostery for Firefox version 8.3.4 on Firefox 67.0.4 (and recent versions) on Windows 10. When visiting Twitter or clicking links that lead to pages on Twitter's domain, I am often faced with the "log in" page - even though I am already logged in. By bypassing the cache (ctrl+shift+r) I am able to continue to Twitter as normal. Despite Twitter being categorized as a "trusted" site in Ghostery, the issue persists. Completely pausing Ghostery also does not resolve the issue. However, when I disable Ghostery, the issue does not occur and I am not forced to bypass the cache when using Twitter. This issue occurs on my laptop PC as well as my desktop (also running Windows 10 and the latest versions of Firefox and Ghostery); both run the same synced Firefox account. This has only recently begun to happen and I am unable to replicate the behavior on any other websites. It seems that Ghostery is the culprit, but it is unclear to me what is causing this odd behavior.

Thanks for your help.
