HSBC online services not working in Ubuntu/Firefox
by Rohit V Bhute 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

I opened an account with HSBC a few days back for my salary deposits. The online@HSBC services are not working in Ubuntu/Firefox. It requires IE 5.0+ or NS Communicator. I tried fiddling with the User Agent string (strangely, most of the IE User Agent strings I found on the net looked like Mozilla/<some stuff>) but to no avail. I've submitted a complaint form but I'm not expecting them to listen to it. Is there any way other than booting into Windows or using IE from Wine? Other than the fact that I would be using, well, IE or win32, I would lose face in front of my sister whom I berate for carrying out *her* online banking business in win32/IE :-( -- Rohit V.

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=143 WGA (windows Genuine Advantage) in Vista checks your drive for pirated stuff of ALL copies of windows and reports back to the mothership. If u have any M$ stuff illegally obtained - in this case even legally obtained - it will prevent access of the new and old software. I love M$. I adore BG. XP is good. Vista is great. Hope they release it today. $-E -- Rgds JTD

Recently there has been talk about websites not supporting Firefox. Also there are certain hurdles in making applications (mostly intranet apps) work on Linux when a certain organisation tries to migrate to linux. The following document is a good starting point for such initiatives. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Migrate_apps_from_Internet_Explorer_to… -- Vinayak
