I've tried all the suggestions in the various help pages, but still cannot get login to work from Mozilla Firefox. Using Internet Explorer is ok. I'm using W7 64-bit Home Edition. It only fails on this one bank. Any ideas ?

Does that bank support Firefox 3.6.8?

They say they support Firefox 2 & 3. See http://www.nandp.co.uk/accessibility

Most banks only support Internet Explorer due to security issues.

I tried clearing everything and it still does not work. This happened after I upgraded to Firefox 12 for Mac. It is the same with three bank accounts I have, both in the US and overseas. In the previous version it worked fine. Now when I access the bank websites and sign in, the webpage goes blank and nothing happens. I tried it with Safari and it works fine.
