I believe that eBay thinks that "FirstFone" is a typo for "Firestone" so 
it automatically changes the the search to the latter. The same thing 
happens if you manually type in the top level eBay address and then do a 
search for "FirstFone".

Pretty arrogant programming on eBay's part since there are tons of 
uncommon model names for items people want to sell or buy.
