   I've been successfully using Firefox for OS/2 to perform Internet   
   banking for some time.  Beginning in October, after my bank made   
   some changes to their Internet banking software, I could no longer   
   log in.  In attempting to trouble-shoot this problem, a representative   
   of the bank first told me that I needed to have Flash installed to   
   see the "Authentication image".  I certainly didn't need Flash to do   
   that prior to October.  Then I was told that Flash is needed for   
   cookies, which strikes me as grasping at straws to find an explanation   
   for why it no longer works.  I can image that Flash has the ability   
   to set cookies, but why would an Internet banking software provider   
   use Flash to set cookies simply to log in?
