Ebay Search function lately always returns Ebay Error message

Firefox Site breakages

I am running Win7 and only using Firefox 115.45.0 which I recently upgraded to from 115.44. For the last few weeks, I get an Ebay Error message when trying to search its site. At first, I could enter a search term, let it sit awhile and then click "search". If I got the error message [a kid w/ orange jacket over his head and a small message saying "something went wrong at our end" plus a long number (not always the same)], often highlighting the URL, holding the Enter button down a while, then releasing it would allow the search to be fulfilled. That no longer works. Over a week ago I contacted a Customer Service agent who said she would contact their Technical people, but the situation seems now worse, and I haven't been contacted. I have had no trouble with my account pages & features. Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have suggestions about mine? Yes, I have cleared cookies and cache ( including when I updated Firefox ESR today). Can't think of anything else new on my system. FWIW, I can't/won't upgrade this old OS for various reasons. I also can't try other browsers. I don't visit lots of places, (no "social" media) and no others where I do any searching as on Ebay; it is the only site with problems.

A little more explanation might be useful for computer-less-literate persons such as myself...but from the information I read there, that looks interesting. However, after some weeks of trouble, today Ebay Search is again working properly so it seems this thread was premature. I will keep that browser in mind for possible future problems.
