I've been using Bofa online banking for over a year now with Firebird with NO problems except one small CSS issue that appears when setting up a payee in Bill-Pay.
Instead of complaining about banks that recommend IE, move to BofA and tell your existing bank why you are moving!
"Blah blah, status quo, what can you do?"... as soon as it hurts their pockets, they'll add Mozilla support.
Don't just move for the tech though - the BofA system is very well thought out and feature rich and sells itself pretty well. I now pay all my bills through it. It even let's you send payments to individuals (I assume it mails them a check - never used it). I'm now down to writing 4 checks a month, and am hoping to eliminate those soon (I think my wife's going to take a little more coaxing though before she kicks the habit:).
I get reminded to upgrade every now and then, but as far I'm concerned, this was the last player that was even remotely bearable from Real. And, finally, they've made the page static so it can be linked to (I wonder how long that will last?):
Don't forget to check out EVERY option on install, and scroll down to see hidden checked checkboxes and other crap. Then go to preferences and Nuke everything. But apart from that, it's not too bad when you've got everything stripped out:)
I use the "Flash Click to view" plugin (as others have mentioned). I also find the Nuke Anything plugin essential. Just right click on an image / animation / paragraph / whatever and select "Remove this object". Priceless.
Contrary to all the dick swinging here on Slashdot- your balls don't get bigger while sitting in front of a computer- they get bigger by experiencing real-world confrontation.
Perhaps working towards avoiding real-world confrontation would be a more admirable goal? You know, compromise, diplomacy, accepting that others may see the world differently to you?
Now that could be good training. Deal with the conflict before getting your dicks (sorry, guns) out, hmmm?
Actually, that's something that freaked me out a bit when I moved to the US from the UK.
The signature is pretty much ALWAYS checked in the UK. Here, I've NEVER had my signature checked, and only occasionally been asked for ID when using my CC.
I find it really surprising considering how much fraud goes on.
In the UK, Debit Cards have been around for quite a while, whilst they still seem a little new here - my wife still writes checks in shops FFS! Buying gas at the pump with NO authentication check worries me a little. I wonder what the fraud rate is on these transactions? At the very least you should have to enter a PIN. And who pays for the fraud? Hmmmmmm
It brings up 4 images, three of which are relevant. Coincidentally, all three are caches of images from pages that no longer exist. MPAA mafia anyone? Do do do do, do do do do...

"As a citizen, I will gladly discuss why welfare must be abolished instantly, both for the poor and for the rich."
That's when you start using a database to index your pages, keeping each page just 2 clicks away - enter search term on home page, click result.
The whole point of these "rules" is to *encourage* good UI design.
Doesn't mean you have to stick with them rigidly. If you have a deep index structure that could take 10 clicks to navigate (Yahoo! anyone), that's fine. But you can also search for the category and get there in two/three clicks.
But at least being aware of good UI design - even if you don't use the rules in every instance - will make you a better UI designer.
"You do not own possessions, possessions own you."
Seriously, if you have something that you've had for over 3yrs and never used in that time, get rid of it. That should make the "stuff" easier to manage.

I still use Real Player 8 (on XP :)

ps - AC? michael? Is that you?
for those of you who can't be bothered to RTFA.
michael, you think we're psychic or what? Try using a link maybe when you talk about SCO's position.
Nobody cares about anything except maybe SCO and the RIAA (at No 82, on the same page).

Still no results. But, if you hyphenate thirty-something, you'll find there is someone for you after all! :)

this reminds me of the old, old joke...
;-)
Three engineers are in a car. An electronics engineer, a mechanical engineer and a Microsoft Certified engineer. The car breaks down.
"Hmmm", says the electronics engineer, "Let me check the wiring".
Off he goes. Five minutes later he returns saying, "Hmmm, well I'm stumped".
The mechanical engineer then says, "Let me take a look". He pulls up the hood and prods away, but eventually, he admits defeat.
Then the Microsoft certified engineer pipes up.
"Hey guys. Let's close all the windows, get out of the car, get back in the car and open all the windows. Maybe that will work".
boom (wait for it) boom.

You never heard of Mozilla then?
Add the "flash click to view" plugin and you're sorted.

If not, I suggest you start paying attention to the news.
There was no threat. There was no proof.

It looks like they count terms on the referring pages, so as long as 'goatse', 'troll' and 'overated' are still relevant, you'll be fine :)
