I got on ebay to search for some items and when you serch only like half of it comes up.  It gives a message that I need to upgrade browser.  "Note: We recently made changes to enable you to view eBay search pages faster. If your eBay pages are appearing in text-only format due to these changes, please upgrade your Web browser."  I would expect many others are having this problem, ebay upgraded last night at midnight, and since it has been messed up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to ebay.com
2.search for an item
3.

Actual Results:  
the pics don't come up and I get a message that says upgrade browser.

Expected Results:  
display as it did days ago, the page now doesnt display normally.

Do you have "for the originating web site only" checked under /tools/options/content/ ?

4th April 2006 - I don't get *any* pictures from www.ebay.co.uk using Firefox 1.5.0.1. Other sites with pictures (like news.bbc.co.uk) are fine and the site is fine when viewed with IE. 

This has been reported by others before and *somebody* closed it with a "works for me" setting. Obviously it doesn't work for everybody and there is an issue here.

I'm using WinXP service pack 2, AMD Athlon processor, 1.5 GByte RAM. The picture holders all show broken pictures (they're fine with IE though).
