I use these privacy and tracking add-ons : Ghostry, Disconnect, DoNotTrackMe, Priv3, TrackMeNot

I wonder if that is Ok , , that those addons won't interrupt each other

I some cases it can really work.

In most cases, the add-ons will conflict with each other and not allow them to do their job.

I suggest only using one.

NOTE: I believe that Ghostry is only to see what is tracking you. Unless it has changed, I don't think that it stops site from tracking you.

Note that you usually do not need to enable third-party cookies and that current Firefox version have a setting to allow third-party cookies from visited sites.
So if you have never visited the web page then such third-part (tracking) cookies won't get set.
