Re: [luau] First Hawaiian Bank and Mozilla

I closed out my account at FHB because they wouldn't let me use the bathroom even though at the time I was suffering from some prostate problems.  Interestingly,  I had approximately $20,000.00 in various accounts there.  As a result of the incidents  I closed out my accounts there.  Become a good consumer;  don't bank at a place that doesn't have a pot to piss in,  rejects freedom of choice in browsers, and exclusively endorses convicted predatory monopolists.

Why is my browser's security important for Online Banking?

Most browsers allow you to access www.fhb.com and view informational pages. Your browser's security must be adequate to protect your privacy when you apply for a product, view your account information or do any other banking related activity that involves confidential financial information. To access your accounts and pay bills through FHB Online, we strongly recommend you use a browser that supports 128-bit encryption security. At minimum, we require a browser that supports at least 40-bit encryption security.

You'll need Internet access and one of the following browsers:

• Netscape 4.5 or later


• Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows 4.0 or later (MacIntosh users - IE 4.5 or later)


• AOL 4.0 or later

Hi Warren,

   I've also been irritated that the FHB site will deny Mozilla and Konqueror for no real reason.  You can't see the code that sniffs the browser - it's in a server-side script at https://fhbonline.fhb.com/site.fsp?Module=SignOn .   Just tell them that the same browser that is rejected (Konqueror) will be received when it lies about being Internet Exploder and everything is rendered beautifully thereafter.  They probably do this because their pages are so chock full of _javascript_ - to the point of seeming obsessive.  On the other hand, Central Pacific Bank, which my business account is at, uses _javascript_ mostly for the pulldowns and fairly ordinary HTML for the rest of the stuff.  The Lizard is warmly received at CPBI without hesitation.
