 due to login problesm with TBB 3.5.2 (see #10569)?

 That must be what happened. Funny I don't remember ever seeing the dialog
 box
 where that setting is. It just shows that you can't trust memory.

 closed as it turned out to be an unrelated one). Btw: Logging into this
 bugtracker needs working cookies, too. So, the best thing to do is to file
 different bugs for each site not behaving as expected like I did with
 #11293 and #11294 and then to close this bug. Thanks!

 Will do, thanks.

 More testing shows that logging to ebay.com.au works some times and not
 others.
 I doubt that it warrants another report.
