One step forward, two steps back

Recently, my bank‘s online banking section finally took a turn for the better, and made use of a lot of accessibility and usability recommendations. Halle-fucking-lujah, I hear you cry – about time one of ’em did.

Last Friday I upgraded my installation of Firefox up to the latest 1.5 beta release, which in many ways is utterly stonking, and great to use.

Today I went to the online banking and got back the same message I used to get…

The Internet browser you are using is not supported by Digital Banking. Use the link below to see the complete list of browsers we support.

  • Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 5 and 6
  • Netscapeâ„¢ Navigatorâ„¢ version 7.1 and up
  • Mozilla 1.5 and up
  • AOL 8.0 and up (AOL subscribers only)
  • Firefox 1.0

For fuck’s sake – so it’ll work on 1.0, but not on 1.5? Useless bastards…
