Thanks for all your help.

I have installed the user agent switch and all seems to be working sweetly.

I will contact the bank and advise them accordingly.

Problem #1 solved. (how many am I allowed per day ;-) ?)

Yeah. No shit.

I'm sure this was absolutely necessary.

Away put your weapons!

Anyway, on topic... I see that this is very frustrating. I was explaining to Justin on Saturday that we spend a lot of time chasing online suppliers that our clients deal with in order to get them to support firefox. They usually respond helpfully. HSBC seem to be an exception.

I would suggest that the useragent workaround will get you going right now, and in the meantime, if you find that their site works flawlessly with the switch, then email them, and let them know this. It may at least convince them to opening up trials of other browsers, once they realise there may not be anything to fix.

Regards,

Greig.
