Turning JavaScript *off* seems to help - I can then access my transaction
history using the old link of
https://history.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_history , having done the
'invisible log-in', which has been an issue for a long time (it logs you in,
but appears not to have done so since it reopens the log-in screen
afterwards).

The elements that retain the cgi-bin links still seem to work;
unfortunately a lot of the internal links have been changed/redirected to
point to the new site, which seems to be entirely JS-driven and shows blank
pages. Thus I can *add* money to Paypal from my bank account
("?cmd=_flow"), but can't withdraw it
("www.paypal.com/myaccount/home/withdraw")!
