browser problem

Wood · 15 Nov 2019

i use firefox most of the time, this morning i could not logon to my bank, cant connect to upstream server
i tried edge, same answer
i tried vivaldi, did fine
i went back to firefox and edge, they dont work, same error
i am without a clue, two different browser dont work but one does

now says cant access page

called the number on the error for the bank, robot tells me they have a temporary problem, that leaves the one question, why vivaldi accesses and edge and firefox does not

Could be the site's response to different browser id- the User-Agent string:

I've seen oddball things like this before. A Lot of us have. Wild guess right now........ Edge and FF have tighter security, particularly with https vs http, and the bank's "problem" may be their secure server is burping randomly. If you still have IE installed and active, try it also. It probably will work.
