I will have to uninstall FireFox 4 as it is not supported by an establishment bank. Why put this version out if it is not supported by a major bank

I went to the link and got the same message. However, if I clicked "Continue", I was able to click on all the different links in the site, it didn't seem to have any problems showing the pages. Did you have problems view other pages in the site?

It's not Firefox responsibility to make it compatible with all websites. Ultimately, it's each website's webmaster to make sure their sites are compatible with different browsers. And I do know some webmasters refuse to update their sites to make it compatible with Firefox, and force users to use IE only, for some unknown reason.

You can use the following add-on to view CapitalOne in IE only if you prefer:

I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and has been using CapitalOne Bank everyday. Unless it's a different CapitalOne. Could you post the link here so we can test? Or you might try to delete the cookies and cache to see if that helps:

You are right. I also continued and was allowed to login. I simply did not continue before due to the message received. I recognise that "It's not Firefox responsibility to make it compatible with all websites" Nevertheless IMO Firefox do have a duty of care to it's users / clients when dealing with institutions.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

"Nevertheless IMO Firefox do have a duty of care to it's users / clients when dealing with institutions. "

I do agree. That goes the same for all browsers. However, it seems like Firefox has more problems with websites whenever it has a new version comes out. My knowledge in programming is very limited, so I couldn't say why is that.

They only test for Firefox/3.

// JavaScript Document var browser=navigator.userAgent; var supported; if((browser.indexOf("MSIE 8.0")>-1) ||(browser.indexOf("MSIE 7.0")>-1) ||(browser.indexOf("Firefox/3")>-1)) { supported="Y"; //should be "Y" } else { supported="N"; }
