Once you've restarted Firefox, do Tools - User Agent Switcher - Internet Explorer 7. Now Firefox tells the web server that it is IE7. I don't use that site but I predict it will work perfectly well :-) Steve -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Online banking
I'd write to your bank and point out that they cannot restrict access to any of their advertised services based on your software or hardware. I had the same problem a few years ago with my bank, their web site had reduced functionality in FF but not in IE. They've since fixed this. see: http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/#UK 2008/6/5 keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've just upgraded to Hardy Heron and tried to access my online Natwest Bank page, only to be confronted with a message telling me that my browser (Firefox 3) is not acceptable.

Obviously this doesn't solve anything but my 'ickle persons account' with nationwide work fine, although it seems to have some trouble remembering the details I end up filling in every time I try to access my online banking. However I did notice in the FAQ it did say that you needed Internet Explorer. It seems strange that they should be saying things like this, as IE has a relatively small market share. Not even safari or firefox was mentioned. I can understand that they wouldn't support firefox 3 yet, I guess that is the downside of using software before it's officially released.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Online banking
I did have this problem when I updated to hardy, but now it seems to work fine since I upgraded to the release candidates of FireFox. Using the user agent switcher did solve the problem at first. All you needed it for was the login pages any other page was fine once you had authenticated.
