This morning I updated my OpenBSD installation, visited a few web-sites,
noticed that Firefox was running slow on a few of them. So I
reinstalled Firefox-ESR finished off what I was doing and thought I'd
try my bank login one last time before turfing OpenBSD and moving to Linux.
Apparently, either the threat of being erased or the update was enough
to resolve my issue as I was able to login to my bank without any
problems. However I do notice web sites continue to load slowly,
especially those running a lot of scripts, and sometimes require a
refresh to completely load but at least things are working sufficiently
well to be of use.
Would have been happy to get to the root of my problem but this is
better than having to setup a new secure Linux installation from scratch.

The bank's technical supports says that they are not even seeing a login
attempt at their end. This only happens with the OpenBSD as I am able to
successfully login on both Windows 10 and Debian regardless of browser. As
recently as September 3rd this was not a problem. I regularly run syspatch
and pkg_add -u. Per /var/syspatch the following packages were updated on
September 3rd: xserver, cron, bgpd, and zlib.
How-To-Repeat:
In an up-to-date installation of OpenBSD 7.1, using Firefox (v100.0.2 ),
Firefox-ESR (v91.13.0esr), or Chromium (v100.0.4896.75)
with add-ons disabled do:
Browse to
/https://secure.royalbank.com/statics/login-service-ui/index#/full/signin?LANGUAGE=ENGLISH/
After entering Client Card or Username click Next.
After entering Password click Sign In.
The following page displays "We’re currently having technical issues
Please try again later."
