When attempting to login to online banking from www.bankofamerica.com, instead
of properly logging in, the site simply returns another login page, resulting in
an endless loop.  This might be due to the use of navigator.appname in the
site's JS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to www.bankofamerica.com
2. Enter Online ID/Passcode, click Sign In


Actual Results:  
This page is returned:
https://onlineid.bankofamerica.com/cgi-bin/sso.login.controller?noscript=true

Expected Results:  
The Sign In should have worked.

I'm resolving this as fixed, since the problem seems to have gone away with the
latest build that I'm using:
