Problems with Firefox

Having problems signing in with Firefox. Ebay used to be fine with Firefox, but now Forefox is almost worse than edge. 😞

Try disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection on eBay using the shield icon to the left of the page address.

Disabling ad blockers, pop-up blockers, script blockers or other privacy tools on the sign-in or verification page can help; many of those have settings that can interfere with verification. You may be able to turn them back on once you have signed in and updated your eBay cookies.

If you are able to sign in using a private or incognito browser window, that might indicate a problem with a corrupt or blocked cookie. Try erasing just your eBay cookies manually in that case.

If you are routinely clearing all your cookies, you will likely have to go through verification again each time you sign in.

Or try a different browser -- preferably the latest version of a popular browser that you do not normally use and one that has no add-ons or extensions installed.

Could it be the new firefox VPN. My ISP advised not to use a VPN in my setup, So I have not activated the new firefox VPN and my system running firefox is still operating on ebay without any problems.

Thanks gp, but I don't think I've activated it. (Sorry to be dim; I'm not particularly tech savvy 😄 )
