Thanks for replying and have tried signing in to ebay in safe mode but with no success

Any ideas anyone ?... Otherwise it's back to I.E. and feeling unimpressed with Firefox

try signing into ebay.com and ebay.co.uk after upgrades to Firefox and Camino we could not sign into ebay.ca but can sign into the other ebay entry points.

this is a security issue with the browsers and ebay.ca that has no resolution that a user can apply via user settings.

There may be issues associated with firewalls but good luck getting cooperation from the players with that.

Thanks sean, I appreciate your reply... but to be honest I feel that if Firefox can't address what seems to be a pretty basic problem, then I feel safer ( and more convenient) with I.E.... It is a shame, because as soon as I tried Firefox, I noticed the much faster speed of the browser and stability, but, this ebay problem doesn't fill me with much confidence. (Separate issue, but I'm also not keen on the way the cache is arranged.. but that's a different matter)

Any other ideas anyone ?... before I revert back to I.E. so that I can access ebay without hassle ?

Come on Mozilla FF! Help us us out! My precious hours of life are wasting away on this problem!
