My preferred web browser is Firefox 1.0.4.

I've never had any difficulties viewing Ebay pages until about five
days when they started coming up with this message:

Note: We recently made changes to enable you to view eBay search pages
faster. If your eBay pages are appearing in text-only format due to
these changes, please upgrade your Web browser.

You get a similar message on Netscape 4.7. eBay pages rely much more
heavily than ever before on JavaScript, and they send a simpler page
with the message above if they an detect older Netscape. I've got
Firefox 1.0 here, though (no suffix), and everything looks fine. My
wife's machine has whatever the early 2005 version of Firefox is, and
that works right, too. You definitely don't have to use IE, but you
might want to download a newer Firefox.
