In my case, I had a FreeBSD desktop and a Ubuntu laptop, both running 
the same version of firefox. The Linux system was allowed into the Chase 
website, the FreeBSD one was not. I ended up using "User Agent Switcher 
and Manager." The user interface is kind of clunky, but I got it to do 
what I wanted.

And I'll agree with Bob's speculation about one of the developers 
running Linux. And with parv's remark to the effect of "welcome to 
1993."
