I have used firefox, (librewolf to be more precise) to buy stuff off ebay, 
leave feedback, etc. and do not recall problems with any buttons.

HOWEVER:  I do not run Addons (other than Ublock Origin) and for these type of 
transactions I make sure session cookies are accepted.

Since you're using Firefox as your browser, have you tried Thunderbird as a 
desktop mail client?  I understand it shares code with Seamonkey, by I don't 
know what their differences might be.

There is Seamonkey documentation, but there are loads of how to's for Mozilla 
products.  If Seamonkey is mostly the same as Firefox/Thunderbird, you can 
take look at the Thunderbird resources to find out how to set up Seamonkey to 
behave as you want it.
