For the past couple weeks I have had extremely bad performance when trying to access http://my.ebay.com using any of the following browsers under SuSE 10.0 (fully up to date with YOU patches): Mozilla 1.7.12 Firefox 1.0.7 & 1.5RC1 Ephiphany 1.8.2 It will often take 2-5 minutes to display the page with those browsers, but once it finally gets the page loaded it looks OK. But any links off of that page will also load very very slowly. Strangely enough though, on the same system Opera 8.51 loads the pages properly and quickly (a matter of a few seconds). This is consistent and repeatable, and it's so bad that Opera is the only browser I can use if I want to do business on EBay (which I have been doing a lot in the past couple weeks). Those browsers work fine on http://www.ebay.com, just not on http://my.ebay.com. I suspect it is not the browsers themselves but some dynamic library they have in common that Opera doesn't use. Anyone else seeing this wierdness? Thanks Michael -- San Francisco, CA

Perhaps I'm experiencing something similar. On SuSE 9.2 I've noticed extremely slow page load/display for sites that use encryption (i.e. my bank's web site) ONLY with Mozilla (1.7.12). It appears to me that some images on the page are downloading real slow. I've not had any problems with FireFox. I assumed I had tweaked something I shouldn't have in Mozilla's prefernces -- I've got the security settings in Mozilla jacked up pretty high. The FireFox settings are just the defaults.

No problems here with Firefox 1.0.7 or Konqueror. As you said Opera seems fine, too. Um, what's your userid/password? I'll try yours to see if it is any different. :) -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

LOL, don't give out your username or passwords to anyone.... especially on a public list that goes all over the world!
