What the heck happened?
Holy Crap Batman! Firefox died or was murdered by mozilla! The last update was the death knell. Passwords that were saved, don't work. Javascript is dead. NO PICTURES on EBAY! Countless other websites that depend on Javascript are functionally DEAD. Thank God that Opera imported my bookmarks and is NOT affected by (the) mozilla (update virus).
TIME TO DELETE FIREFOX! (Unless there is still someone with a brain at mozilla and will provide a lockable predated version.)
Good Bye Firefox, you had a good run just like Netscape.

Are you sure the update came from Mozilla?
Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Do Not remove the profiles folder.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Yes, there is a problem with the eBay image server and some other sites that use the Akamai CDN. You can use a different browser for the time being. If you want more information on a workaround for Firefox, here are related threads:
