Steve,

I have'nt installed Mozilla yet but most software has a Print command under the File menu. Is that any help?

Sorry, no solution here.
Using Mozilla in the past I have had limited functionality with online banking, In particular with the Pay Anyone area.
Had to go back to IE to do the banking.

It seems to depend on the bank. I have no probs with CBA, Adelaide Bank or Westpac but National and Bendigo Bank are difficult with Mozilla. It seems that some banking platforms are more dependent on IE than others.

That's interesting, I have had probs with westpac, anz has been fine but I don't do as much with anz. You may have a later build of Mozilla, the update feature never worked for me.

Nick,

may well be the later build, just reformatted the desktop and reinstalled Mozilla only about 2 weeks ago. I have trouble at work, using IE with CBA, quite often it wont open the login page.

Hi Steve, Nick and Blue, have Mozilla here Steve and have just occasional problems that Microsoft would rather see them have but I prefer to have fewer popups and worms that pervade puters with IE. I only occasionally use IE and have better printing with Mozilla than IE where I couldn't control the page. I can get a File / Print Preview with Mozilla which is useful. It has been better placed on the page than IE.... Have Firefox on the desktop though.

Hello all,
Make sure you've got the latest Java add-on from www.sun.com for your particular Mozilla or Firefox distribution. That will help access to some of the clumsier finance sites.
Failing that, disable the automatic pup-up blocker (tools/options/web features). The latest Firefox distribution (1.0.7) allows pop-ups on sites of your choosing.
Hopefully, that should keep you away from Bill Gates' vice-like grip.
Cheers

I know with StGeorge you need to have the latest version of Java downloaded and installed for use with each browser you use.

Steve,

Did you click on Print Preview under the File Option? You have quite a lot of functionality there. Shrink to fit, specified percentage, Portrait or Landscape, Margins and Headers or Footers. It is still there for my bank. You select from Advanced under some of the options like after selecting Print. You have my mobile if you want to call in the morning or I think it is with the rig.

Hope Denny is well mate.

If the host web site uses Microsoft products ie Back orifice err office, microsoft web server etc then mozilla has a problem accessing certain functions - a microsoft "we don't like you using other products" thing.
Depends on the site and version of mozilla one has.
I get this quite a lot in clients - I instruct them o use mozilla for all but banking/ financial stuff.minimal chance of damage from financial site.
Regards
Techie
