eBay

For the past few days I have been Unable to List Items or Revise or do many things on eBay...using

Mozilla Firefox as my Browser...I have been using Mozilla for many years for eBay with No problem...I have now had to switch to Microsoft Edge to be able to List and use the eBay site...but I generally use Mozilla for everything..and I am very concerned....I cleared my Cache and my Cookies and did some other things..but so far no luck...Mozilla and eBay are Not working together for me...

Any ideas out there?...I need eBay and Mozilla Firefox to be Compatible....Thanks very much..

I use firefox with no problem.......there are glitches at times and that's when I check to be sure it is updated......and usually it isn't......despite the fact it should do it automatically.

Also there are some addons that have caused problems in the past........if you have any installed, you might try disabling them to see if that helps.........

make sure it's updated to latest version...usually when there issues on firefox, chrome etc... that is the issue.

The great truth is there isn't one

Thanks for all the suggestions...I do get Mozilla Updates all the time...Could it be an eBay compatibility issue

with the latest Mozilla update?..Mozilla has always been very reliable...

We gave up on Firefox and switched to Edge over a month ago. Even uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it.

Edge works great. Had always used Firefox and no idea what changed.

Others have also complained about Firefox but haven't retained why.

Maybe uninstall/reinstall? Good luck!

Glad to know I am not alone with the Mozilla problem...Still wonder if eBay

compatibility may be an issue...Thanks for all the good suggestions...

I listed around 50 or so listing today (Sunday 7/25) with no problems at all use Firefox. I would suggest that rules out an eBay compatibility issue.

I do a bunch as drafts and then list the drafts all at once in bulk.

I have used firefox for years, and just in the past week I have noticed lag time and hang up here on eBay while browsing listings. I am up to date with the FF browser 90.0.2, did some searching and disabled a couple extensions, cleared cache and all temp files....still no change.

I did happen to read up on some possible causes, one being to de select hardware acceleration. So far so good.

I was having the problem with just one window open and it seemed only here on eBay I was experiencing the problem.

You can try it, if it doesn't work you can just go back and click select on hardware acceleration.

just my 2 cents worth.

it is always possibility yet because others have posted they are using Firefox latest version without issue then I would rule that out. In times, if browser just released a new version (chrome does this all the time...which is what I use) ebay has had compatibility issue but they generally very temp and ebay updates regularly to be compatible with Firefox and Chrome latest versions since so many use those two over things like Windows and Edge.
Sometimes matter of clearing cookies, which you said you already did. Then logging out and then back into ebay...which if you cleared cookies you should had been logged out of ebay automatically when did that.

^^^ yes, forgot about this, this also needs to be done on Chrome for ebay and some other websites I use.

Edge works great. Had always used Firefox and no idea what changed.

I still use a revised and programmed Firefox 56 with the Classic Theme Restorer, refusing to update to the extension-less Firefox of today. I have no issues with eBay at all, but when going into my store, eBay's newer software screws up the featured items where there is a macro drop-down menu which never should be there. That gets me to Edge to edit just that. Other business' websites are messy in the older Firefox (from which I have to use Edge); but for me, my older Firefox is the most stable for quick use----mind you it does eat up memory, crash, freeze the system too, from time to time. Nevertheless, I still can open an Options window, rather than forced into a complete Tab like the newer Firefox. We know why Mozilla (animals) did this, of course.

I had a similar problem, but it was my cell phone & I use Safari (Apple). eBay kept telling me it was Safari & wanted me to switch to Google?? Can't remember. Anyway, no way was I switching from Safari. I was never able to use my phone for eBay. Finally, after quite a while eBay told me my phone was out of date & they didn't have updates. Might ring a bell with you.
