E-Bay only shows pictures unless Firefox is in safe mode

bold textHello, this problem developed it seems of it's own accord. However, my dogs have a nasty habit of stepping on my keyboard so they may have changed something by doing that.

I'm running Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium w/Firefox 5.0. When I look at an auction on E-Bay there is no script, or writing, there are only pictures that are viewable. Weird that it just happened arbitrarily. It was the same on re-start until I restarted Firefox in safe mode?

Thanks,

Shannon Smith

P.S. I'm in safe mode now and do not have a URL to provide, sorry.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
