ebay "Add to Watchlist" button not working with ClearURLs

Prerequisites

  • Can you reproduce the problem in a fresh firefox profile with only ClearURLs?
  • Are you running the latest version of ClearURLs?
  • Have you changed settings under about:config?

Description

When logged in, eBay product listings have a textual button "Add to Watchlist".

This button's functionality seems to be broken by ClearURLs. (Oddly, there is a workaround because hovering over the main listing image pops up a "heart" icon and clicking this works!)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in to eBay (I'm using ebay.com.au but suspect any ebay domain will be the same).
  2. Open any item listing.
  3. Click the "Add to Watchlist" button.

Expected behavior:

Item is added to my eBay watchlist.

Actual behavior:

The button click appears to do nothing.

Specifically, the debug tools Console show NS_BINDING_ABORTED for an request to:

GET https://www.ebay.com.au/myb/WatchListAddAjax?item=356994261856&rt=nc&SubmitAction.AddToListVI=x&_trksid=p4429486.l1360&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

If I disable ClearURLs then the Console shows that the same request returns status 200 (and the item is added to my watchlist.)

System
