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.

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.
