Firefox Problem

Gray-2007 · 09-20-2007, 11:15 AM

Hi,

I've been looking around on ebay using firefox and when I do a search, the results page never seems to be finished.

For example I type in barbecue it says 200 results, I look down the page and there is about 16 and the last row is about half loaded before the end of the page.

The page works fine in Internet Explorer. How can I fix this ?

Sounds like the page is not well formed.
Firefox is more a W3C standards compliant browser while IE is more forgiving.

Was perusing ebay last night using FF and the pages loaded fine. Don't recall having any issues in the past either.

Thanks. What I should have said.

Under Firefox Tools > Options, have you modified the Content tab? Many web pages need JavaScript and / or Java to be activated to load up properly, and you may also need to tweak some of the other default settings depending on your preferences.

There is an addon for Firefox that lets you view the page in IE

I had a similiar problem with FF myself. Have you done that tweak to speed FF up? If so, it's due to that - the one you change max connections; you will have put the number up way too high.

Try IE Tab instead. Thats what I've got on my home PC and opens it up in a new Firefox tab.

It looks OK, but I don't use ebay so I don't know how good it is there.
