There is something odd with St George. Some users have problems while others don't. I've been using St George online banking with the last 3 releases of Ubuntu with the default install of Firefox without issues. (After installing Java).
I also use National online banking. It pops up a message saying that I need to upgrade Netscape, but you can click a box to stop nagging you about it and continue. >From some forum posts I gather that it's not the same for everyone. One trick >is to get Firefox to report itself as IE 5.5 (can't remember how off hand >though). I haven't had to resort to that on the home PC or work laptop.

It does work with Firefox, but not with Linux anymore. A couple of years ago I convinced them for a while to keep it compliant, but then it stopped, I'm sure because they adopted the latest version of the MS technology on their site. Making the web as proprietary as possible for MS only products has long been an MS objective, which must be resisted. Changing the bank where you have your home loan is a bit radical, but changing a components supplier isn't. Have you considered getting your stuff elsewhere and telling them why?
