If a bank forces you to use the security hole that is IE to do your net banking, you don't want to be using that bank. Bank of Ireland's has always worked fine in Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox since day one.
NWOLB worked fine for me with Firefox 1.5 yesterday. Installed Firefox 2.0 and got a 'browser not supported' message.
Installed the ITAB extension for Firefox 2.0... and all is well with the world once more.

The open source / free to use software market must be supported to ensure that proper competition continues to give people what they want and need rather than what is in M$'s corporate interest.
Open source also means that people are free to produce extensions / add-ons, for nifty things like synchronising bookmarks, easy downloading, interfaces with mail clients etc... etc...

Security - relative to IE, Firefox has not had any exploited holes. Its not 100% secure, no software is, but its not gonna leave your system wide open
Speed - its generally faster than the microsoft snail
Features - IE7's new features are all just attempts to catch up with Firefox/Opera/Safari, who've had them -all- for years.

MYOB is right. M$ have been trying to play catch up.
Unfortunately for the average joe they will be taken in by the new polished IE7 website and reviews that M$ pay for on the magazines and on the net.
At least I got my girlfriend converted, which I am telling you is hard.
At first she point blank refused Firefox saying it did not look like IE and that webpages looked funny.
Once I got the animal theme on it and she started using it. After 6 months use she now loves it.
She is even telling her family & friends how crap IE is these days and they must convert asap otherwise Windows will be permanently damaged

I've installed version 2.0, and imported my bookmarks from the previous version.
BUT
They never stay there once I close it down and open it up and I've got no search engines in the top right hand corner.
What the hell?

I've just installed version 2.0, certainly seems alot faster.
Might not use IE anymore.

errmmm Quick question here please..
Have DL new firefox for mac, all good and got my bookmarks etc but, how do i get rid of the 'hard drive with a firefox' image folder thing..?
I have opened the .dmg, and then that opens into a this folder thing which sits on my desktop,and doesn't want to be trashed, or dumped into the application folder..
Running 10.4 if that helps,
Cheers

the folder is a disk image, go to Macintosh HD and click the eject icon beside it in the drives tray.
Aha..yes..so that's called a drives tray then.. 
that works, but when i re-launch the firefox application from dock, it then also launches the folder/disk image again.. any reason ?
Cheers BTW

Nationwide online banking doesn't appear to work in Firefox, when you are entering your Passnumber digits, as it doesn't register that you have selected the numbers from the drop down lists.

Ehrm, because you dropped the icon direct to the dock and not to applications? It'll be running it out of the .dmg then.
