Firefox extremely slow with Ebay - Please Help!

[voodoo1694]

I currently have Vista64 and the latest Firefox (3.5.3). I was uploading something on photobucket, and the browser crashed. I restarted the browser and all of a sudden Ebay was insanely slow. It slows down the entire browser and all my tabs to a total crawl -- I can't even do anything on other tabs while it's loading. It takes about 30 seconds for a page to load. I created a new profile and the story is the same... What the heck is going on? I use ebay for business and need it to work on Firefox. With other browsers such as opera, safari, etc it's fine, but I prefer firefox. Thanks in advance!

ebay broke their site and Firefox 3.5.x has problems of it's own that make the site unusable for me. I've been using Opera to look at ebay. I posted about it in another thread. There's no working fix for ebay and Firefox that I know of.

Welcome to the wonderful world of firefox and ebay!

Though if this really is a firefox issue totally this is crazy because I am really getting tired of all of these firefox problems Why can't it just work?

OK I guess it just firefox then. Darn... I thought it worked prior to the crash but I guess not. Well, at least something isnt "wrong" with my PC. Thanks guys.
