My bookmark to the Ebay homepage works fine. I can't go further though, as every hyperlink is unresponsive. Even though Firefox is my default browser, I've using Chrome the past week for Ebay transactions without a hitch. I'm not positively certain, but the Ebay problem seems to have started around the time of a recent Firefox update. Any Thoughts?
