'goon'? St.George seem to have been making a concerted effort for the last few years to ensure cross-platform and cross-browser compatibility. Both the fat and mobile versions of their online banking interfaces work extremely well for me (Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu, Chrome and stock browser on Android).
Thanks Ron, i will have a look at St.George. Alex, my iceweasel says 10.0.5, i suspect my problems have something to do with some plugins but not sure, ive only had the problem in the last 3 or 5 months. (I need to remember to read what i wrote before pressing send) Thanks

In 4 or 5 years of using firefox (on ubuntu) to access CBA, the two have gotten along fine¹. (There were some time-outs at the time my Telstra landline had reduced bandwidth, due to waterlogging, but that's been fine too since they kicked the frogs out of the service pits.) Keeping liquid funds in a Netbank account, rather than the cheque account, the above combination is my only access to my money, so I'd be stuck if it didn't work flawlessly. Erik ¹ I've recently had to upgrade firefox, to keep up with ABC and BBC websites, but the CBA netbanking site was still fine on the old browser version. -- When I die, I want to die peacefully, in my sleep.

I did some digging, it looks like like its the torbutton addon installed (not even activated) that stops NAB online banking from working. Any of you have it installed by any chance ?

I've just clicked on Tools->Add-Ons for the first time, but it doesn't say whether torbutton is installed. Is there an easy way to find out? Incidentally, the only ongoing problem that firefox gives me is that it intermittently tries to re-open the last session's links on start-up. I've searched back and forth in "about:config", but have not found any config option which obviously disables that problem. Have you, by any chance, overcome that one?

If its installed there should be an onion looking icon beside the address bar in your browser. The tor wbsite says that torbotton is no longer recommended, instead they say to use the tor browser bundle, havent tried that yet.

I havent tried stopping that, cant see any obvious way. Glenn

My family is using Ubuntu and Firefox to access various banks without problems: Westpac, Bendigo Bank, ANZ, HSBC. I worked at NAB's Dockland building several years ago, and the "web team" was proud about their compatibility record then. They tested against various clients and operating systems regularly.

Credit Union of Australia. Limited shop fronts, so most transactions are done on line. Firefox on a couple of linux flavours runs fine. Some time back there was some glitch, and the IT person handling my ticket was au fait with linux and had done testing against it. The web banker login page says (C) Sandstone Technology who appear to also do a "mobile banking" variant. Maybe some time in the future then.

Ah, grateful thanks. I hadn't found that. However, firefox does not honour that setting. Although it is set to "Show my home page", where Home_Page is "Mozilla Firefox Start Page", on about a third of start-ups, it spuriously cranks away loading yesterday's links, and I have to whack them all with a shovel. (I just start firefox by clicking the icon at the top of the screen. It's hard to be more standard than that, I figure.) The firefox version is 12.0, the result of an upgrade in the last few weeks. That is when the behaviour degenerated. With your information, it now looks more like a bug than a misconfiguration.

When I have multiple open pages, I get a query box about whether to save the sessions, and it has a checkbox to not ask. I carefully leave unchecked. There is no question if only one tab, especially the home page.

It might be honouring something you have forgotten. There is also access to configuration, how about the in browser web page configuration that is accessed by the correct URL?

No query boxes here, and there does not appear to be any config parameter to allow disabling of session saving, AFAICT. I'm happy for it to load the home page, although I don't use it. (I could just set it to "file:///...", if it took appreciable time to load.)

In the list at about:config, the only session-related flag not set to false is browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. It could be that I sometimes forget to close firefox, and shutdown is interpreted as a crash ... Ahah! in my "bye" script there's "killall -q mozilla" - that should have been changed to firefox long ago. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for the nudge toward what probably is the way the behaviour is triggered. Erik -- Nasrudin walked into a teahouse and declaimed, "The moon is more useful than the sun." "Why?", he was asked.

I am with what used to be BHP Credit Union, now Big Sky (although that changed again this year, I think). I am with them out of inertia -- I lack the patience to deal with the paperwork and humans involved in optimizing my banking. Online banking works for me in Midori (webkit) and Firefox. It did not work in edbrowse last time I tried it. Last time I emailed them about compatibility, they responded promptly but were not interested in supporting midori because it had yet to make a stable release. I got the impression their dev team was a lowest-bidder offshore mob. Also this year they only allow "large" (>$200?) transfers if you have a mobile phone, because they introduced mandatory OTP, delivered via SMS to whatever phone was already assocated with the account. They don't provide RSA tokens.

Since changing to Ubuntu Linux in 2006, using Firefox I have never had any problems accessing my accounts online with Australian Credit Union or Members Equity Bank. I like keeping my money/loans with financial institutions that operate in a similar co-operative style to open source/Linux. They offer great interest rates too. :) John Englart (mostly a lurker on this list) On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 11:48 AM, Toby Corkindale <toby.corkindale@strategicdata.com.au> wrote:
