[plug] Non IE Banks [UNCLASSIFIED]

[Clark Julian]

I've not had any troubles using the Commonwealth Bank's Netbank under
firefox/ linux
No problems also with ING Direct (though their functionality is very
limited)
Anz's worked ok with firefox (I haven't used it extensively, I found it
a little clunky in logging in.
The Login screen which triggered a pop-up banking session annoyed me.

I would've also said the same about Westpac, but it seems that opinions
differ there..

I do like the idea of telling the banks why you're leaving, but
unfortunately, many banks won't care until a significant # of people do
it, or a significant # of $$ do it.
