Chrome violates the HTML5 spec in many ways, and many web developers

Firefox has a channel through which broken sites can be reported:

I'm looked into that link.  I put my mouse pointer over the thing they
say to check and it shows nothing is detected or blocked.  So, I guess
that isn't the problem.  This could be a Ebay problem.  The way it is
supposed to work is when I put in and/or select the items needed, it is
supposed to change the button to be clickable.  It fails to do that. 
Thing is, it could also be Firefox.  Firefox works on every website I go
to.  I can't recall the last time a site didn't work so I'm kinda
leaning to it being a Ebay problem but I could be wrong.  I wasn't
surprised when Seamonkey didn't work.  Heck, most sites don't work right
with it anymore.  I just know something is wrong since Chrome worked. 
Thing is, I don't trust Chrome for much.  Even tho I use Gmail, I don't
trust Google much at all either.  I use encrypted email for some
things.  Keeps their nose out of my business.  LOL

I have used firefox, (librewolf to be more precise) to buy stuff off ebay, 
leave feedback, etc. and do not recall problems with any buttons.

HOWEVER:  I do not run Addons (other than Ublock Origin) and for these type of 
transactions I make sure session cookies are accepted.



I really need to switch to a better email provider.  Thing is, I'd like
to set it up so that I have a email program that fetches my emails and
then I just connect locally to read them. After all, Seamonkey stopped
fetching emails automatically long ago.  Plus, once setup, I could stop
using Seamonkey.  Seamonkey needs some serious work.  Sad tho,  I like
it in a lot of ways. 

Since you're using Firefox as your browser, have you tried Thunderbird as a 
desktop mail client?  I understand it shares code with Seamonkey, by I don't 
know what their differences might be.

I always thought the email part of Seamonkey was the same as Thunderbird so I tried it a few times.  While it is a lot like it, it is different.  One thing that I have issues with, opening links.  I get emails with links from orders I've placed, news articles and other stuff.  I'd like them to open in Firefox but since I have several profiles, I can't find a way to open those links and it do so in a certain profile, even if Firefox is already open.  Basically, I need to be able to right click on a link and be able to tell it to open the link in a new tab in profile abc for example.  Even setting it to a certain profile for all links would be ok.  I'd guess 99% of the links I click on would need to open in the 'secure' profile.  That is the profile I use for ordering, banking and such.  It has a few add-ons that make things more secure.  I have containers there that separate certain websites from other things.  It's the most used profile.

To add info.  I have another profile used for watching videos.  It is set up to work well with Youtube and other video sites.  The add-ons there are for downloading videos and such.  I have another profile that I use for torrent stuff.  I never use the video or torrent profiles to say login to my bank account, pay bills or anything.  I mostly use separate profiles because some add-ons clash with each other.  I can't install all the add-ons I need in just one profile.  Plus, I can manage the number of open tabs better too.  




        

          
I may look into other email sites again.  I need a really good guide to
get it to work like I need tho.  I don't know where to even start.

There is Seamonkey documentation, but there are loads of how to's for Mozilla 
products.  If Seamonkey is mostly the same as Firefox/Thunderbird, you can 
take look at the Thunderbird resources to find out how to set up Seamonkey to 
behave as you want it.


      

    

    

    Well, what I'd like to do, install a email program that fetches the
    emails and then stores them on my system.  Then I can have
    Thunderbird or any other email program connect to that and view,
    create, send or whatever emails.  Thing is, setting up the first
    program is complicated.  It is a bit over my head.  From what I've
    read, it is pretty picky too.  It has to be fairly perfect or things
    don't work.  I'd need a seriously good how to to even get started. 
    It could turn into another long thread like that goofy monitor.  :/ 
    

    

    I'm at a point where I either dive in and stay out of the water.
