View Full Version : Firefox is telling me that ebay "has been reported as a web forgery"

Not the entire eBay site, only the actual product listing. The message is as follows:

When I click the "Ignore this warning" the page reloads, with the same message and a warning "Reported web forgery".

Of course I could turn the security feature off, but I always take Firefox serious with these error messages, however surly there wrong with this one?!

I didn't realise Firefox can pick up on all those illicit ebay auctions for fake handbags and 'authentic' nike trainers as well :p

Very odd, have you got a link to the listing?

Have you asked it why the site was blocked?

It seems of sorted itself now. I think Firefox must have noticed the problem. It wasn't just me by the way, I've spoke to several people that have said the same thing happened to them.

Appears that this was a problem with firefox incorrectly seeing ebaydesc.co.uk as forgery, see
