User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130729175331
Steps to reproduce:
1. Typed in myebay in google to search for site.
2. Click link from google result of search.
3. Got to the 'Welcome to Ebay' page.
Actual results:
Drop-down/pop-up message appears stating:
Error: Illegal operation on WrappedNative prototype object
This results in preventing me from typing my log in details. I have to click on the ok button to acknowledge the message and make it go away.
Expected results:
I should be able to just get to the page without this constant message popping up and holding stuff up. This is not unique to ebay, this happens to a number of websites and causes a slowing down of multiple tabs opening and it is irritating. Before the upgrade, I did not have this problem with firefox at all.
Tried to take a screen shot of the problem, but with the message popped up it prevents you from doing anything else until you click the ok button.
Add-on issue probably.
Try in safe mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
Then try with a clean profile:

Does it work normally?
Severity: major → normal
Component: General → Untriaged
Flags: needinfo?(sj.freecycling)
Went through the safe mode procedure and found the problem didn't appear.
So I then tried disabling of hardware acceleration. No problem there when I restarted firefox.
This therefore lead me to investigate my various extensions and found that Videosurf was the culprit of that pop-up. I removed it and so far, there doesn't seem to be any problems.
