I'm using Moz 0.95 (binary mozilla.org installer) on a SuSE 7.1 installation and have been (very happily I must add) using it to do my online banking, time charging for work, shopping, taking online statistics exams for my University (loaded with Java applets), all over https connections. I'm also developing a web based application at work that works entirely through SSL and have been using Mozilla (WinNT build) over Netscape 4.7 for testing, since Netscape 4.7 seems to completely refuse to work with any of my pages with external javascript files through SSL (target platform is unfortunately IE, but I sneak in as much cross-browser testing as possible).

Good for you, but my bank will not alow me close to their web site since
they require 128 bit encryption which Mozilla doesn't have right now.

I'm still running 0.9.3 from ftp.suse.com and I can do my banking just fine. Yes, my bank does require 128 bit crypto. Where did you get your Mozilla from? -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
mozilla.org. I didn't think there is a strong encryption version of Mozilla
(maybe SuSE added it?)

I am also having some trouble with 128-bit encryption using Netscape 6.2 (Which I think has Mozilla 0.9.5). I just went to three sites I use that require 128-bit encryption. Two of the three had no problem, but the third complained as follow: ====================================================================== System Requirements Access to this site requires the use of strong encryption versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.72 with 128-bit encryption enabled. ====================================================================== When entering that site Netscape also complained that it couldn't find the "Plugin Downloader Plugin", so perhaps this has something to do with the problem. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen paulsen@texas.net

Nah, Netscape 6.2 is based on the Moz 0.9.4 branch

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.5 downloaded direct from the mozilla site, unpacked and mozilla.installed, and it is the first version I am really satisfied with, with the exception of the email client, which obviously still needs some work. I use it to do my banking, through a secure site (https://www.be.fortisbanking.com), and I must say I am very pleased, bacause it all works fine, and it is the first ever version of Mozilla that does for me.
