Firefox, Ebay And Windows Vista?

BaileyB

I have just listed my first thing on ebay using Vista and i have Firefox as my web browser. Now normally i need to go into IE for this as Firefox is useless for selling on ebay.

Now i just sold something and it looked the same as on IE. But when i went to sell something else in switched back to the normal single box.

Is there now a patch for this, and what did i do to make it like IE as it would be very handy.

Thanks

I think you'll need to explain the problem a little better, as it doesn't make sense

Sorry, I mean when i go to sell something i dont get the full works like in IE. You dont get bold, font, centre etc.

You mean with Firefox on the SYI Form you only get a box to enter HTML , its an eBay thing
If you don't use HTML then use IE7 with the SYI Form

Ebay like to use ActiveX (a Microsoft invention) if you are using IE to give whizzy extra features. The downside is ActiveX isn't that secure and is best avoided by either switching it off in IE, or using a non-Microsoft browser like Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. These know nothing about ActiveX and so Ebay doesn't try to use it. Consequently, Ebay can look a bit different in these browsers compared to IE.
