On eBAY, I can't use the sort feature, or enlarge, or watch this item - I used to be able to do this with firefox and all of the sudden it stopped working. I think it was the latest update to Mozilla Firefox. What can I do?

eBAY has stopped working the way it used to with Firefox, my browser. Sort, enlarge photo, watch this item - they all don't work anymore.

Chosen solution

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.

My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".

Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".
