Firefox eBay problems?

Has anyone else been experiencing problems trawling eBay with Firefox?  I suddenly started having those problems on Tuesday.  I can view My eBay, individual auctions, and all of the links on the left side of the page.  But, every time I try to use the search function, view all of the items in a category or eBay store, or view a list of a seller's items, Firefox crashes.  It's having trouble loading the pages.  This isn't happening with any of the other sites I frequently use and it didn't happen before Tuesday.

That's odd. I haven't had any probs with Firefox & ebay.co.uk... ??

Turns out there's a bug in Firefox.  A lot of people are having similar problems -- they visit a site or even just open the browser and the CPU usage soars to 100 percent.  I was able to pull up the task manager window and end the program, but others couldn't even do that.  I'm now using SeaMonkey, and so far, so good.
