Hi all,
A quick question I'd like to put to the list. The business web site of
my bank doesn't work with Firefox on Ubuntu anymore (it used to), even
though it works fine with Firefox on Mac. A support query I filed

A suggestion use your feet to vote move bank to one that does
support Ubuntu / Linux... there are plenty.
