Which version of Firefox did you try out ?

Camino 2.0.4 is equivalent to Firefox 3.0.x. If you didn't try with that yet, it is probably a good idea to check that first. Available here:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0.19&os=osx&lang=en-US

(I suspect Ebay is relying on localStorage() and friends, something that will be supported by the upcoming Camino 2.1, and Firefox 3.6.x)

Hi Philippe.
I am using (right at this moment) Firefox 3.5.8 and all is good:  the ebay edit page opens fine.
This problem exist on Camino 2.0.4.. That is the version i was/am using.
Cheers

I specifically asked about Firefox 3.0.19.

Firefox 3.5 uses a different version of the Gecko rendering engine than Camino 2.0.4.

Alternatively, you could test with a Camino 2.1a1pre nightly build:

(make a backup of you profile folder first: ~/Library/Application Support/Camino)

BTW - make sure you are not blocking cookies from eBay
(this might be the same issue as bug 515342)

Cannot comment on Firefox 3.0.19. as i do have it.

I have tested with Camino 2.1a1pre nightly build and still no result.

Cookies are not blocked.

BTW as aside: on ebay some auction listing are blocked, something to with a Paris court ruling. Ebay lists them and are currently involved with the legal side of things to try and sort it... but it has been going on for years.
Now Camino does not show these listings, as you would expect.. BUT
Firefox does.
I never use Firefox but last week i had to, so i could purchase an item that came under this ruling. It seems odd that Firefox circumvents this.
An example.

You should download it and try it. I hear it's free ;)

The other issue is because eBay's legal department has their head up their ass. See bug 317875 for more on that.

You should also try both Camino 2.0.x and the nightly build with a fresh profile. Troubleshoot Camino can help to automate that process:

Thanks for the Link. pimpmycamino.
Actually its not that big a deal. I rarely edit my ebay.
I was just registering a bug.
I understand doing a comparison with Firefox, as a check: but i dont use Firefox
free or not.
