Howdy,

I'm getting used to this new puter still.  Also, this keyboard is still
giving me typo problems.  Hang in there with me. 

First, Seamonkey has issues with a lot of sites.  I tend to only use it
for sites that require no login info.  Basically, doing searches or
clicking on links in email to read a article or something.  Firefox is
my main browser.  I have several profiles I use, each for different uses
with different add-ons installed for those tasks.  Now for the problem. 

I ordered a set of monitor cables 10' long for my new rig through Ebay. 
The 6' cables just barely reach the top monitor.  I don't like cables
that don't have extra given I move things around at times while things
are powered up.  When I received my order, they shipped 6' cables
instead of 10' ones.  Usually, I just send a message to the seller as a
question with any issues and the problem gets fixed with no ding on
their ratings.  The seller wanted me to go through the return process. 
That's fine.  Thing is, when I go through that process, the button I
need to push to complete and send the return request, it's grayed out. 
It is supposed to turn blue once I put in the needed info and be
clickable.  I tried this in both Firefox and Seamonkey.  I notified the
seller but all they do is send a automated response.  They don't appear
to have humans reading their message.  Negative feedback says the same. 
The seller has decent ratings tho.

I then went through the process where Ebay gets involved.  I clicked the
button for Ebay to help and start that process.  Thing is, in both
Firefox and Seamonkey, the send button is grayed out there too.  I don't
think I can easily install a windoze web browser to test.  So, I emerged
Chrome, even tho I don't like or trust it.  Heck, I been wanting to move
away from Google mail for years.  When I get to the same page as I had
in Firefox and Seamonkey and put in the needed info into Chrome, the
send button is clickable and works fine.  So, Firefox and Seamonkey
fail, Chrome works. 

I'm sure there are people who use Firefox and Chrome on this mailing
list.  Has anyone else ran into this type of issue where a page works on
one but not the other?  My first thought, the order was a low price and
the seller doesn't do returns for orders that small.  Shipping isn't
cheap sometimes.  Given that it works in Chrome, I'm thinking it might
be Ebay now, not the seller.  If it is Ebay, I want to reach out and
inform them of that so they can try to fix it.  I can understand it not
working with Seamonkey.  A lot of sites don't work with Seamonkey. 
Firefox tho is a widely used web browser and it should work.  Either
Ebay did something wrong or Firefox did.  Someone needs to research and
figure out which and I'd think Ebay is a good place to start since it is
their page and they know their code for that page. 

Anyone else run into something like this?  Even if it is not on Ebay. 
It could be a Firefox issue.  I've read that Firefox tends to follow the
rules but other web browsers don't and sometimes that can cause
problems.  I'm not sure if that still applies today or not tho. 

Thoughts?
