As of this morning using either FF PmW2.0.0.19 or 3.04 the first page loads and seems OK until you want to klick on anything or type in search text FF closes. I have seen this before with Flash, but I REALLY haven't changed anything in the last couple of days and this site used to be accessible - could this mean they have upgraded the server side flash and we now have a problem ? Tried with IE on XP and it worked fine of course.

Tried with IE on XP and it worked fine of course. I tried the (sic) "Be Inspired" page. I was able to click in and explore in a limited sort of way. On my way out the "Be Inspired" page did not re-appear, but then I went somewhere else (can't remember), came back and then it did refresh. On summary, it appears to be pretty normal AFAICT. Hope that helps.

I didn't sign-in as my registration is with ebay dot com in US, but went through the computer categories without incident. That's with Flashblock 1.5.7.1 and AdblockPlus 1.0 both enabled.
