Don't have Firefox yet? Click a button!

Internet Explorer users, continue on...
The instructions below will still speed up page loads on category and search results pages... It will suppress many eBay errors that interfer with your daily activities here... It will have no adverse affects on any other site... The only possible interference you may experience will be if you try to sort a large search return by "Distance: nearest first"... Only the closest fifty50 items will display sorted (200 if you use advanced search).

Portions of the tweak will carry cross-site and not be restricted to the search results/browse category pages... Specifically the buffer overflow in some routers caused by omniture.com cookies will cease and the omniture.com related "SiteCatalyst Debugging" should disappear from your eBay pages.
