Ever since somewhere around the last FF update, I have been unable to upload pics to ebay. The ebay app appears to be uploading; in fact, it says it has finished. But the pic doesn't appear. If I use IE, it works with no problem. The odd thing is that when I use FF on my other PC, I can upload pics to ebay with no problem.

Another odd thing is that when the upload window appears, it immediately hides itself behind the main window instead of being in front.

hello, bug #775879 offers some background into the issue - essentially the breakdown of the ebay photo uploader is a by-product of a security relevant fix that landed in firefox 16. ebay is already aware of the issue & hopefully they are working on implementing changes in their code to solve the issue.

Ahh. Excellent to hear. Thank you for the information. It's good to know it wasn't me missing something obvious. As a temporary work-around, I went back to the previous version of FF because I do a lot of ebay related work. I'll be looking forward to the fix. I presume it will be an ebay fix rather than a FF fix.

How do you get to a previous version of FF? I too have this same problem and am tired of switching back and forth between FF and IE.

Yesterday I went here to get Version 15, but today all they list is 14. They do have a link to a directory though where you can pick you version. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox#os=win&browser=fx15
