Firefox intermittently blocks feedback page

by Chris Dawson

Over the last few days I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the Firefox browser whilst on eBay and it’s failure to display eBay feedback pages.


About fifty percent of the time when clicking to view a users feedback the message above is displayed. Opening the same page in alternative browsers such as Internet Explorer doesn’t exhibit the same problem.

Please eBay, get it fixed!

    I use FF and havnt had such problems, i may be wrong but i think this may be a problem with your browser settings rather than eBay for once !

    I’ve thought it was just me for almost a week, but I’ve had confirmation others have intermittant problems as well.

    I should note that *I’m* not filling a form in - eBay does that automatically when I click on a link to view a buyer/sellers feedback. I just click the number next to their name :-(

    I have never had a problem with this and i use firefox all the time. I suggest there is an issue with your system and the others who are having the same issue. It could be that you have a piece of software running that is clashing and causing this.

    Really ? heres me been compiling all the data when all along eBay will do it for me !

    outdated java and such similar issues can cause elements of websites to function incorrectly. As its not affecting everyone and just a select few i would assume (i may be wrong it has happened) that it is something along these lines.

    I am having the same problem. It appeared to start after the latest upgrade of FF to 2.0.0.14 but of course could also be a script compatibility problem on ebay. If it the same on IE then we can blame ebay.

    Hi Chris I mentioned this in the forum a little while ago, something changed at ebay I think. Because it always worked ok, then one day, caput.

    I occasionally get errors viewing feedback pages with FF, I get the “Sorry, we encountered an problem” message but not the rest. When it does happen, I find I am unable to view anyone’s feedback until I clear all eBay cookies.
