For a few months now I have suffered painfully slow browsing on ebay
and it slows/stops other tabs of the browser (Firefox). Login seems to
take a couple attempts to work as well - anyone else got similar
problems?

I have the same at home on fast copper BB and on mobile BB, plus all
PC's.

Always seems ok for me (using a chrome-ish browser) have you got any
ad-blocking going on which might be preventing e.g. some scripts from
their site loading?

Yes I had, but disabling the the blocker for ebay makes no difference
at all. A full next page takes 40 seconds before I can begin to slide
the page down, which also makes everyting else on the PC come to a
stop.

Some of the eBay javascript stuff seems to clog Firefox, have you
tried stopping and restarting the browser?

Just tried it here using Firefox on VM - no problems.

Yes and Java has just updated itself on this laptop.

Just FYI, java has nothing to do with javascript beyond the similar name.

Java isn't (and has nothing to do with) javascript.

Nope, but I don't use firefox for ebay or for anything much.

Mainly use Chrome now, but had a spell using FF until recently. I
normally find eBay one of the faster sites.

I've been noticing that very often when I change a page on ebay, I get a
really annoying pop up from AVG at bottom right of screen.

I wonder if that relates to this?

I usually use PaleMoon, so it's a slightly different version of FF.

OK, look at the processor idling speed in power settings and speed it up.
Laptops are notorious for this one, but some people just leave them set like
this on desktops and it throttles the processor.
Its meant to save battery of course on a laptop, but as it canslow lots of
stuff down its false economy most of the time if you are an intense user or
use it on mains.

Same here over the past few days. I find that refreshing the page after
clicking a link speeds matters up.

I need to look into that, yes mostly on mains power.

Firefox, but using Microsoft Edge Ebay runs at full speed.

latest firefox is a complete heap of ****.

Mine hangs for 20 seconds on first load - longer than it takes me to
boot the computer - and crashes any flash prograqm with a right mouse click.
