Server Connection Failed Error...
Starting yesterday, Firefox will not load the description section of any eBay listings (Chrome is doing the same thing). This is the error:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com. Peer reports it experienced an internal error. Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

I am on my Mac Pro, running OS 10.14.3. If I open listings on a Windows machine on the same internet connection, the pages load fine. The problem persists even after clearing the cache/cookies. I need to find out what is causing this, as I use eBay on a daily basis for work. If anyone has any ideas, your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S. The only extensions I am using are UBlock Origin (pages do not load properly with it disabled, either), Facebook Purity, and New Tab override.
Chosen solution
I only run UBlock Origin and Facebook Purity on Chrome. However, I found the problem. My DNS setting on the computer was pointing towards my router. So, I changed it to the Google DNS and the problem disappeared. I don't know why it worked before, then suddenly stopped. Using the Google DNS worked.

I also checked Firefox in Safe Mode - the problem persists.
I have now tried an older version of Firefox - same issue. I created a new profile - same issue.
I really need to get this resolved ASAP, as I have to create more eBay listings tomorrow, and I need the browser functioning 100%.
Someone has to know what is causing the problem.
Do you have any extensions on Chrome? Please answer as soon as possible.

Thanks for telling us.

I usually went on ebay.ca, which is my favorite website. If the internet was disconnection, resulting in Firefox to lost access to the site (via the Server Not Found error page).
