EBay 'messages' - format has gone awry using Firefox. Ok in Chrome.


This happened around a week or so ago, and could have been around the same time as a Windows 11 update, but not certain.
In essence, when I click on my 'Messages', it appears spread over the whole page, as tho' zoomed in to a daft and distorting degree. My Firefox is set to the standard 100% zoom, and all the other eBay screens are normal.
Even without a message being opened, the content of each can be seen spread out over the whole width of the screen, over the rest of the page (second pic down).
Opening a message to read has it in a weird format, with the reply button disappeared below the screen.
If I use Chrome as my browner - also 100% zoom - the messages appear in unaffected format. 'Shrinking' the page using zoom in Firefox doesn't help - it's the same mess, only smaller!
This is the Chrome 'Message' section, so normal:
And this is the same page in Firefox - abbynormal. The content of the 'B' message is stretched out over the screen. The LH menu has gone:
And then if you open a message to read, this is it in Chrome, so normal. If I scroll down, the reply box is there. It all functions as it should;
And in Firefox, it's hard to read as it's overwritten, and I also cannot scroll down to get to the reply box. Ie, it doesn't actually work.
Any ideas? Thanks.
