Firefox mixes eBay Kleinanzeigen's listings in a higgledy-piggledy order. One the first page (20 or so listings), it's mostly correct but going back further from 'now', some of yesterday's listings are mixed in with today's and for today's earlier listings pop up between later ones. It just seems FF fails to read their database correctly. I've tried with all add-ons disabled but it still happens. It's been going on for a week or so. The same URL displayed in Chrome doesn't have that problem. Thanks!

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

This could be a problem with what sorting is used in case Unicode or accented characters are present.

Did this work previously in Firefox?

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

Thanks to you both for helping out! Turns out deleting cookies and cache solved the problem.
