Firefox & latest alpha version fals over when using Ebay Turbo Lister.
Ebay have just recently brought out a new version of a program called "Turbo
Lister" that does not seem to be compatible with Mozilla.
With 1.8a4 The program just falls over:
"Tl.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. ... etc."
Firefox behaves similarly!
I am an ebay seller in the Uk and I switched to Mozilla during the recent
Microsoft fiasco regarding security etc.
Up until now everything has actually worked fine using firefox 1.7.  I have also
installed your 1.8 alpha version and I am getting similar results.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load Turbo Lister
2.Click on Item Inventory
3.Dialoge box is then displayed as follows - "Tl.exe has generated errors and
will be closed by Windows. ... etc."

Actual Results:  
Turbo lister shuts down.


Expected Results:  
Displayed all my auctions.

I know TL.exe (supplied by ebay) is a stand alone app but if I set my default
browser back to MS IE it works ok!
Seems to be compatability problems with TL.ex & firefox.

The talkback utility should start up when Firefox crashes. Can you provide a
TalkBack incident ID?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
