At present if you are running Firefox then most banks will allow login - if you switch to another less well recognised browser then users may find their bank will then not permit online access (possibly even if you switch user agent string!). For example in general chrome is working pretty well (yes it is not FOSS) - but my bank will not permit login using chrome in linux (though it will from Windows! This is because it won't allow a beta as it is not released code!). A "released" chromium may get allowed for such use but this is uncertain at present. I think you need to be careful with such issues - and also ensure that security is looked after vigorously for similar reasons. Switching away from Firefox to Iceweasel or Coldcoyote or whatever may not play nice with important sites such as banks! -- mike c -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
