Firefox will let me surf the web but certain sites such as facebook and eBay take too long to respond and i can not login, how can i fix this?

more options

The connection has timed out.

The server at signin.ebay.com is taking too long to respond.

   *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
         moments.
   *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
         connection.
   *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
         that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I can still look up support on the internet but anything that would require a log on to work will not load and FF will give me this error message. This has happened for a few weeks now on and off. Now it has been 3 days of no log ons whatsoever. PLEASE HELP ME I have homework and eBay auctions ending!

This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.
