UK Banks NatWest and RBS support Mozilla

Advertisement (Why?)

This is excellent news; it was managable but tough to use natwest previously (fake user agent string + feature loss on site) but now it works just as well as in IE. It's also great news because once a few sites start doing this it gives credance to Mozilla and the idea of actually coding to standards.

"Stuart wrote in to tell us that the UK bank NatWest have recently upgraded their online banking facilities, allowing Mozilla users to access the service for the first time. In addition, the digital banking features of NatWest's parent, The Royal Bank of Scotland, are also now compatible with Mozilla. See bug 66911 and bug 119134 for details."

It's about damn time. Finally a small victory for Firefox.

err it says Mozilla. Even thou FireFox is a derivertive of Mo, its still a separate browser. Your still going to have to wait until its part of the fox as Mr mo gets it first

This was a problem with natwest - not mozilla. Important point- they changed the code to comply to standards.

Wahey! I'm with NatWest!, maybe it will catch on -the Mozilla support by the way

Cool

now it's time to fix this site as well: http://www.odeon.co.uk, it doesn't work on Firefox.

strange, only page that i have visited that doesn't work with firefox, oh well, its not 1.0 yet

That site is crap in any browser. It tries to be clever but it has no usability. Go to, behind the screens, top 10 and then try getting to one of the options. It can be quite difficult.

Nice to see that some webmasters started to support the best browser. Long live Mozilla!
