I complained when I couldn't use their online bill paying website.  They
replied promptly with:

Thank you for contacting SunTrust regarding your browser compatibility
inquiry.

We apologize for any inconvenience; however, Firefox browsers are not
supported with Bill Pay. The only Mozilla-based browser we can dedicate
support to is netscape Navigator. Due to the frequent release schedule
of browsers like Firefox, we are unable to commit support for these
browsers. For more information regarding supported browsers, you may
wish to contact our Internet Banking Department at 800-382-3232.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to
contact us. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and look
forward to satisfying your financial needs.

Sincerely,
Stacy T.

Well, one of Canada's largerst (and IMHO: best) banks has no problem with
Firefox:  Using the on-line financial services works just fine . .

if you're using FF 1.5.x, then click on Help, and Report Broken
Website, or go here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/,
and let the Mozilla people give them a good thrashing

Well, they must have a lousy system then. Maybee the netscape version
they support is 4.xx 

My bank's list of supported browsers includes only NS 7.x and Ff 1.0.x
but in reality I have no problems with other (and newer) Mozilla based
browsers.

I have allways used Mozilla Suite since I left netscape 7 and now I'm
using SeaMonkey. Never had any problem using the bank online.

If you think that is crazy then get this.  Some time ago I was having some
connection problems and contacted my ISP NTLWorld Help Desk.  They told me
that they couldn't give me any help as I was running IE 6 which they
didn't support and to get help I would have to uninstall it and go back to
IE 5.  This was a few years after IE 6 had come out.  So I would have had
to have uninstalled IE 6, go back to IE 5 which was far less secure just
so that they could answer a question that had nothing to do with my
browser and this came from one of the top professional ISPs!

Churls. Varlets. Ronyons. Why don't they figure out a subset of
functions common to recent releases that they're prepared to support,
and stick with that? It's not like installing a few versions of Firefox
will cost them anything. Unwilling to pay for development time, more likely.

NTLWorld still say that they support anything at all? Wonders never
cease :-)

Way back when I was an NTL victim, I always thought their support line
existed solely to make money off the premium rate number...

Well, the important question is:  What isn't working on that site?  And,
what did you try to rectify it other than contacting support?  Did you
try spoofing the User Agent?  Make sure cookies are being accepted?
Pop-ups not blocked?  Javascript turned on?

I had to phone them up yesterday to make some account inquiries.  Phoned
the only number I could find on their site, waited listening to crap music
for 15 minutes, went through a list of question and was told I had phoned
the wrong number and had to phone another.  I pointed out that it was the
only number the site gave and she said she knew and apologised.  Phoned
the other number which cost more and had to listen to crap music for
another ten minutes.

Ouch. That's pretty much as I remember it.

I've landed on a few sites where the push buttons wouldn't work in Firefox.
I had to use IE 6 to order my SBC Yahoo DSL because of this.

It's non compliant code, nothing to do with Firefox.
