[opensuse] Speaking of Firefox...
Firefox v2.0.0-8.1 Have any of you other users noticed it not working correctly on sites that didn't have problems before? I noticed on a banking site the other day I had to spoof IE where I had never before. Firefox just always seem to work fine. May have been a couple of others also, but still I thought it unusual. bye, Lee -- -- KMail v1.9.5 -- KDE v3.5 -- SuSE Linux v10.1 -- Registered Linux User #225206 "Gör, eller gör inte.

I've had this happen under Wintendo as well. Check the JavaScript on the site. It is probabaly looking for FF 1.x to perform actions and then performs some alternate action not knowing FF is
1.x.
When this occurs - as was an example on the California State site, I write the offender and usually they fix pretty quickly. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I've noticed that - several banks use the same back end and they got upgraded recently, and if you don't have IE, it doesn't like it. This is very common with some US banking sites as of late unfortunately. RP BandiPat wrote:

As an aside, have you tried Konq. at those sites, and if so, how'd it work? Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, that's what I use for most things now Fred. Kong seems to be falling into the "works with everything" category pretty well. If not, I can spoof as Safari, which uses the same engine. It's really pretty bad programming that any site checks for a browser anymore. There are none available now that doesn't offer full security over and above IE!

True, but there still are fools who are bound to MickySoft's apron strings as they're too lazy to learn anything else! Thus, they continue to screw up web sites.

It does not help if the HTML instructors are M$ bigots who pass the assignments if they work in IE and ignore any consideration of the other browsers Opera, Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla, Konqueror and Seamonkey. Forgetting Lynx which is nongraphical. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have Bank of America and Firefox works just fine, can't answer for other banks. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use the current version of Firefox with U.S. Bank and it works fine. -- Envy, n: Wishing you'd been born with an unfair advantage instead of having to try and acquire one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
