Firefox, Linux, and Banks...

BMO investorline updated their backend servers overnight. When I tried to login I got: "You're using an unsupported OS/browser version."

Fear not. Linux IS still supported, and so is Firefox. But, the new BMO backend blocks the use of Firefox ESR versions (Extended Support Release / v140.5.0 on Gentoo), and requires a rapid version (which are flagged as unstable on Gentoo / v143, v144, or v145 - 145 works with BMO)

Seems odd that a bank would require the use of an unstable version of a browser, or is this just Gentoo's "we've not tested it fully" definition of unstable?

BMO do have a page on their website which states "BMO InvestorLine's website is best viewed on Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8.0 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox version 3.0 or higher."

It doesn't fill me with security confidence...
