This happens to me too with UOB internet banking site, but itt's not so much
of a FF problem, IMHO, coz it works fine with FF on Windoze. The first time
I login to the site from ubuntu with FF, I observed the same behaviour of
the endless "transferring data.." at the status bar, I tot the server was
under heavy load or other network problem and  didn't give much thought of
it. A few days later when I had to use the site again, I experienced the
same thing so I suspect there's something wrong at my end, so I find myself
a Windoze box and quickly fired up FF, and it works immediately. If anyone
want to start a complain letter to UOB, I'm willing to put my signature on
it ;)
