Your Firefox or Firefox generally? I ordered 2 items from different vendors on 13th Aug without a hitch using Firefox.

online buyers;

eBay - people who try and rush to get things shipped straight away when they've only just paid; It's a person to person sale, not a business!
Facebook marketplace (i know, i know - i expected this anyway) - selling a car and people message is it still available; yes, that's why it's for sale . . . . . or people offering half the price saying they'll take it now. Of course you would because then it's a give away!
People who still do not understand the arrows on the floor of shops and why there are 1 way systems in place . . . it's not a new thing.

Essentially, idiots. Idiots are my gripe of the day.

Do you have any plugins installed, Ad blockers etc? I usually find they are the cause of most issues.

To be fair I used to get annoyed about that but I'm trying to buy a car at the moment and 80% of them so far by the time I've checked the MOT history, thought about it , compared all others for a price guage and gone to arrange a viewing "it's sold".

The one that wasn't, I went to view from a trader - asked him if everyting works as it should before I set off he said yes, got there and it was ****ed he denied all of it until I pointed out there were lights on the dash stating it was ****ed, plus the electrics didn't work and he only had one key and no log book or service history. Toss.

Why people don't remove it or mark as sold after a day or so is beyond me

Fills me with dread. I'm about to sell off a few bits of camera gear and I'm sure I'll get all sorts of crap from buyers. I'd love to sell it all on Gumtree, with people just coming to get it, like I did with my old hedge trimmers earlier in the year, but I know it will cut down on who is likely to be interested. Annoyingly I thought I had gotten rid of the Practika SLR which will cost me £10 to post but the shop that was taking it in PX claimed it was broken. Bloody liars! Nothing wrong with it - young pillock that tested it claimed it would not load film but the sprockets work fine, so he clearly had no clue as to how it worked.

Women!

OK I know they are beyond comprehension, especially those that have evolved to the wife status.

Why do they consider shopping as recreation? and then wish to look at 5 near identical things before going back and buying the first? even more confusing is why they buy what they do not need?

I am again in the naughty corner as I won't go shopping with her.

1) Hello I am working not retired like you.
2) I do not want to waste hours in shoe/frock shops when you must have 30 pairs of shoes and currently fill the wardrobes in 4 bedrooms with your stuff.

My wife knows better than to take me shopping. My lack of interest and unhelpful comments takes away any pleasure for her.
