Yep, works with all the swedish banks that don't use a separate application (windows only) for the authentication, some do though. There was a time when my bank didn't support mozilla (or konqueror for that matter which is my current favorite browser). It was however easily fixed by changing how the browser authenticated itself. Changing the authentication so it gave the same response as IE was enough for most functions. /Robert
