OK cool.. After Supun said it worked on firefox on windows I guessed it must be actually checking the O.S. part of the user agent string (as I remember some months back this did not even work on firefox on windows) BTW you can get it to work on firefox on linux by modifying the user agent string to masquerade as Netscape on Windows. http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changinguseragent.html (however I recommend the approach below) The easy way is to install the user agent switcher at http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/useragentswitcher/ and masquerade as Netscape (which defaults to an Windows OS) when you access the hsbc site. But still on principle the customer should not have to work around the bank for their technical problems.. lets still let them know that a fix is needed. chamindra http://www.linux.lk/~chamindra
