The same thing worked out for me and I was able to access my HSBC account. However since I wasnt able to install the UA extensions available I used the one available at https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/. HSBC uses too many pop ups during the process of authentication in to the account, hope you havent enabled any pop up blocker while you were trying to access the site.
Nope. So, my question is still is that if changing the UA string in Mozilla/Firefox works with Windows, then why does not it work with Linux ? How is the web site able to know which OS is running in the background when the UA strings defines the OS to be Windows ? There has to be some way by which it is able to know this. I am not strong on networking / http technicals, but there would be some way to find out what information is exchanged between the server and client (Mozilla in our case).
