That is just wrong. Asking it the standards Working Group for something that isn't clear in the standards is pretty fast. No single browser vendor will change their browser to follow a different browser if they think they are correctly following the standard and it makes sense to do it in that way. What I don't understand is that your website screwed up and you are their customer. I would just move to a different bank. I did that once 8 years ago with an IE only bank webpage. Why should they fix their broken page if the don't have to ? > Comment #3 was posted 9 months afterwards. It has been so long, I don't > remember if I tried Comment #3's suggestion or not.

It can't be a Firefox bug if it works on Windows and doesn't work on Linux. There is no difference in the html/JS/imagelib etc. between the platforms ! The main differences are only in the graphic output and system integration like the default browser, Themes but that doesn't affect the content of webpages. > Why is Mozilla treating Linux with a lower priority than MS?

Again, the whole rendering code is cross-platform and the same source code is used on windows, linux, OS/2, BSD, AIX The only difference in your case is that Firefox tells the webpage that it's a Firefox browser that runs on linux and not on Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575897 Title: No text cursor for login on CitiCard website Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The cursor disappears on the first login line of the login form of the CitiCard website after a second or two and is unrecoverable. While it is present, it is inactive. This is not a problem with Google Chrome, nor with any other website using Firefox in my experience. It is annoying to have to use two web browsers in order to get my work done and so would appreciate your remedying this issue.
