Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[holger.bremen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

In the past I was able to make a list of my favorite searches in ebay-Germany.
Since a short time this action is no longer possible because the text "in meine
Suche aufnehmen" is no longer active. At first I thought of an ebay problem but
today I tried this action parallel with IE 6 and it worked.
One more bug for non-IE-users on ebay (I'm already an IE user when I type in my
sells because I want to use the comfortable version).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a search in ebay
2. try to mark it as a favorite search
3. "button" is not active

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Add this search to my favorite searches

I have already installed the actual German version of Firefox 1.0.6 yesterday.

The saved searches are stored on ebay's server and should have nothing to do
with Firefox.

I know it well that they are stored on the ebay-server but it is not possible to
click on the text to force the ebay-server to store them - once more, the
text-button on the page is not active if you watch the site with firefox. If you
open the site with IE it's active and it's possible to store searches.

Holger, does it work with the latest build?

I'm working with the latest version (I said it already in the description of 
the bug above) of the German version of Firefox 1.0.6. and I discovered the bug 
with this newest version.

The problem was really on the side of ebay!
I found in a ebay discussion forum the hint to add 

#resultsinfo div.count { position:static !important; }

into the userContent.css of Firefox. Restart of Firefox and I'm really one of
the satisfied Firefox users again.

No code checked into the Firefox code base. Works for me
