We're with IF (Halifax online bank) and I've used Firefox exclusively
for the past 8 months - not a problem at all.
Just need to convince National Lottery that Firefox is more secure
than IE, here's the quote from the site if you try and log in using
Firefox:

error Incompatible Web Browser
To allow us to give you secure access to this section of The National
Lottery website you must use a PC or Mac running one of the following
web browsers:

* Internet Explorer 5.01 SP2, 5.2, 5.5 SP2 and 6.
* Netscape 7 or AOL 7 and above

You can download the latest version of Internet Explorer from Microsoft here .
Cancel and Return

Yeah right!!
