sounds absurd

[will work with Konqueror masquerading as N4]
According to their faq http://www.zurichbank.co.uk/homesuite/q_security.html ,
Netscape 6.x is supported (minus 6.0), thus Mozilla should be no problem if it
is correctly detected.

clearly it doesn't detect Gecko correctly, since Konqueror needs to masquerade,
so presumably Mozilla trunk (2002082320 my build) would need to as well

Netscape 7 pr 1 doesn't get detected properly either

perhaps their faq refers to http://www not https://secure ?
can anyone test with mozilla identified as something else, see if everything
works ? if so, this bug should be marked as [havefix], since that would mean
they only need to sniff better...

my build today 2002082608 [GMT+1], with uabar added

ua : Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686)

site allows login etc

Never really explored the site in anything else : )
