Todd It is often possible to fool these IE only sites into letting you in, either by accessing the site through a web page that comes *after* they do their browser check, or by spoofing your Browser ID to look like you are using IE. Opera allows you to to easily switch browser IDs just by hitting F12 Konqueror SettingsBrowser Identification allows you to change ID per web site Mozilla-Firefox ( and I assume Mozilla) has the User Agent Switcher extension you can install http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/ Unfortunately sometimes it is still not possible to persuade a site to let you use it. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I changed the file association in the configuration panel and I added the shell script provided by the list members. No change! Is there something else to change? Christophe, many on-line banks depend on pop-ups for their authentication process. Mine does, and yours may do. If you have turned off pop-ups you should temporarily switch them back on, then note the bank's url and go back to the pop-upsettings. Turn them off again, but mark the bank's url as an exception. I did this in Mozilla and it worked fine, so I would think that you can do much the same in firefox.
