Firefox in the financial industry

Banks in the UK have been one of the longest hold outs to providing better cross browser support, so this is a good sign.

Great progress has been make in other contries where market share is doing better. Fidelity, in the US, was one of the early sites that provided great support for Firefox, and they are also testing for internal use http://www.rebron.org/2005/11/02/testing-firefox-wsj-article/

My bank, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, supports Firefox officially and has for some months now.

My bank, www.sydbank.dk, has been on Firefox for years; it even serves a special version for Gecko based browser, complete with mime-type application/xhtml+xml. Their slogan is "How can we help you?", it certainly has me convinced. Wonder why other banks are so slow to pick up on this strategy? If you press the smiley-icon in the bottom bar, you even get a website optimized for the visually impaired.
