I did change the user agent an hour or two ago to IE6 & Windows/XP just to see and it didn't make a difference. The site doesn't use pop-ups either. I just loaded the site with firefox and after a few minutes of being patient as I can and reloading the page multiple times I did get a look at my account details page. I might be able to go further if I was patient enough. I hate to think what could happen if I am paying bills and reloading the page multiple times. > If you can't get it to work, I guess you could run IE in qemu or > vmware... and complain to your bank or switch banks. :) I have thought of all the above.
