This is bug #417955, which I first submitted almost two years ago. (See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417955>.) I have communicated with Vanguard several times since then about this, but they refuse to accept that Gecko is Gecko. The problem is getting worse, not better. Now they tell me that the reason their server stops responding after I've downloaded about half of a 500 KB form is because I'm using SeaMonkey. Someone must have actually looked at the raw server logs because I was spoofing Firefox at the time. No, I don't have trouble accessing the current state of my account even when I don't spoof. But I can't get tax forms without spoofing Firefox. I think they are changing CEO the first of next year. I will write a postal letter to the new CEO then. -- David E.
