Since a few days ago I have been experiencing problems with the standard build of Firefox as provided within Ubuntu Breezy (1.0.7) and Ebay.
I can browse lists of items for sale with no problems but if I try and open the details of an item (usually I do this in a new tab with a middle click) it sits there loading perpetually. Eventually the page may load but more often than not results in a time out when contacting cgi.ebay.co.uk
Another Ubuntu machine at the office is showing the same behaviour, and an Apple Powerbook on my home connection works fine using safari. So I don't think it's connectivity related.
Tried disabling the Http pipelining as I have heard that this can cause problems with some sites and that made no difference.
Is this an Ubuntu update that has broken Firefox or is ebay at fault, can someone else with Firefox confirm/deny that they can repeat this problem..
Ta muchly.
