Sorry, I see you tried that. Please disregard.

Can you describe the alterations in more detail?

Do you have any servers blocked in your Windows hosts file? Some third party software may add sites there to block advertising or for other purposes.

Not that I know of. The only thing I actually installed was Ad Block Plus. I had it before and never had any problems. I recently (a couple days ago) noticed on Yahoo I was getting ads on a group that I belong to there. I was wondering why and then noticed that Ad Block was gone. So I tried to reinstall it but Firefox kept saying the file was corrupt. I asked my bother who is more computer literate then I am and he said that there could be something wrong with Firefox. So we checked and found I had the version before the new one 23.0.1. So, I updated Firefox and Ad Block installed okay and everything was fine and my eBay classifieds page was fine too. But today it's changed back again to the altered state.

I also did notice one thing, and I'm not sure if this means anything or not, but when I click on the clear cached web content it it says, "Your web content cache is currently using 135 KB of disk space." If I clear that should it be zero???

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

The only extension that I'm showing enabled is Ad Block Plus 2.3.2. I disabled it, checked Manage My ADs on Ebay Classifieds and the page is still wrong. So that extension doesn't appear to be the problem.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.

• Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

• Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Did not make any changes to the font or anything like that. The only thing I did was originally installed Windows updates which I thought was the problem but after a system restore and installing updates one by one and checking the site after each update, that didn't appear to the the problem.

Then all of a sudden the page changed again. I again did a system restore but the page is still showing up like the screenshot above.

Your location bar shows a shield icon to indicate that content coming from an insecure connection is blocked.

You can click that icon on the left hand side of the location bar to unblock this content.

See:

• https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Security/MixedContent

You can set these prefs to true on the about:config page to disable this security setting.

• security.mixed_content.block_active_content
• security.mixed_content.block_display_content

That did it!!! Yeaaaahhhh!!!! It's back to normal.

Um, why did Firefox Block that content? Do you know? Will unblocking cause any issues with anything else??

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! THANK YOU!!!

cor-el,

Your observation/instructions regarding the shield were correct. However, when I did what you mentioned at the end regarding about:config, changing false to true, it didn't do anything. The shield is still showing up and changing the page.

Is there anything else you can suggest that would stop this page changing from happening?

Thanks again for your help.

P.S. It's late where I am (1:25 AM) so if you do answer this i won't see it until later this morning.

Oops sorry, you should set both prefs to false to stop blocking content.
block_display_content is already false by default and active content gets blocked (block_active_content = true) in current Firefox version.
So please revert the change that you made and at least reset security.mixed_content.block_display_content to false.

Okay. Will try that and see what happens. Thanks

That appears to have worked. I refreshed the page and it stayed the way it was originally intended to be....thank you again!!!  :)

cor-el,

I contacted ebay about this issue and this is what they responded with..

Thank you for contacting eBay Classifieds Community Support.

I am using Firefox and not encountering any issues on site. We are also not receiving any other reports of this nature. It might be in your best interest to adjust your security settings to a less aggressive setting or if still unsuccessful, I would recommend using another computer to access our site.

Thank you for using eBay Classifieds and have a great Monday!

Regards,

Any idea why I'm having this issue with them (never had it before until recently) and they're not?

Just curious.
