jpg images on the return page of eBay searches. By doing "view page
source" I narrowed it down to img links that started with
thumbs1.ebaystatic.com. When I copy a problem img link and attempt
to load it in another tab, I get "Unable to connect: Firefox can't
establish a connection to the server at thumbs1.ebaystatic.com."
Safari gives a similar message. I was using version TFF G5 10, but
just installed TFF G5 11 and get the same. My wife's Windows
machine running Firefox has no problem at all with this.</p>
<p>I've Googled the issue and found lots of mention of similar
problems from years ago, but no consensus on the origin of the
problem or the solution.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/meie0W4WO8HMWLJ4as4KdCA.jpg</a></p>
<p>If I email this link to my wife's Windows machine running
Firefox (sharing a common internet connection) it loads fine.</p>

thumbs1.ebaystatic.com to the "trusted" list and the problem is
partly solved. I think I will have to add at least thumbs2 to the
list to solve it completely.</p></div>mike reitsmatag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/368827412015-05-24T14:01:49Z2015-05-24T14:01:49Zcan't load jpgs from thumbs1.ebaystatic.com<div><p>First, you mention version 11. We don't support 11 and haven't
in some time -- the most current version is 31.7.0. Earlier
versions may not have certain features the sites are expecting.</p>
<p>In a situation where Safari and Firefox give the same error
message, it's usually something network related or there is a
setting on that computer which has gone awry. I'm not sure what you
mean by "trusted" list.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/368827412015-05-24T17:11:38Z2015-05-24T17:11:39Zcan't load jpgs from thumbs1.ebaystatic.com<div><p>Thanks Cameron! You folks are great.</p>
<p>I looked at the "about" for the version I am running and it was
as you<br>
said, 31.7.0.</p>
<p>I've determined the problem is not browser related. If I ping
the numeric<br>
IP address from a CMD window for
<em>thumbs2.ebaystatic.com</em><br>
<a href="http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com">http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com</a>
on my wife's Windows laptop I get the<br>
normal 4 responses. If I ping the same numeric IP address in an
X-window on<br>
my G5, I get "Permission Denied."</p>
<p>Mind you, these two pings are both being done from the IP
address of our<br>
router.</p>
<p>It's crazy.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
