Firefox wont open ebay sites
Firefox wont allow me to open ebay sites. When I type www.ebay.com.au it opens as it should but displays a blank page. However, when I use my desktop shortcut it opens. Then when I select an item to view it starts to open as normal, shows the item discription in the address bar but shows a blank page. It was working 3-4 days ago and nothing has changed with my pc as far as I know. I can log onto another computer and it works fine.any ideas??? Gavin

First and foremost, please update Firefox to 3.6.17 by clicking Help| Check For Updates.
The reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
