Hi Group,
I recently installed Firefox, and I'm pleased. However, my bank says I
cannot use it to do my bank stuff, I have to install Mozilla 1.7.5 for that.
So, because I'm lazy, I turn to you guys. What is the difference between
1.7.5 and Firefox? Please don't answer "you cannot do your bank stuff with
one of them", I already know that ;o)

Is there any (other) disadvantages with 1.7.5 compared to Firefox?

If this issue already has been discussed in this group, I appologize for
being laze.
But thanks anyway!

Okay, I was not that lazY after all, I did some reading.

Firefox: a web browser.
Mozilla: a complete suite with a lot of other applications.

Right?

Correct.
In fact, the Moz suite comes with a web page composer, a Mail thing
(that also
does usenet), an address book, calendar, chat, messager, palm sync,
etc.
Be less "laze", it helps.

My bank gives me the same message, I just ignore it and use Firefox.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

That is correct.

If your back will allow Moz 1.7.5 in, there is no earthly reason to
exclude FF 1.0. It is exactly the same rendering engine. What happens
when you try to get in with FF?

If there is browser sniffer involved, I've never seen one that sniffed
for Moz 1.7.5 and excluded FF. That would be a first.

You could try spoofing the User Agent as Moz, and see if you get in.

Here is a typical 1.7.5 UA string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

You can use either the Prefbar, or the UA switcher extensions to spoof
the FF UA to this.

Havn't tried. Just listened to my bank Internet support, and they say FF is
a no-no. In fact they are checking it out as I type, I guess it's a matter
of very short time before FF gets an OK.

Eehhh ... a little over my horizon, this. I thing I'll wait for the OK from
the bank. Or use the complete Moz suit.
Thanx anyway, Lee!

I use FireFox all the time to do my banking. No problem at all. Works great.
