As unfortunate as it is, my bank for e-banking services REQUIRES (via 
UsetAgent string) IE and/or Netscape 7.x. That's just plain stupid, I've 
told them to only check the Mozilla part of the string so users with 
other Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox or Opera can also access the 
sites... They do not listen.
