Yup, used it last night to pay some bills.  All good here.

Internet banking sites use a lot of Java.  Which Java plugins (installed 
by the browser, by APT/Synaptic/Add-Remove, and what versions?) are you 
using?  (To find out, fire up Firefox and type "about:plugins" into the 
location bar).

You can also check to see if you have the Sun JRE installed by typing 
"dpkg -l | grep jre" at the command line.

It might be worth your time to delete the plugins in either your 
~/.mozilla/firefox/<profilename>/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 
directories and reinstall them.

If you had a working system up until a week ago, did you do some system 
updates at that point?  And if you did, have you tried doing a 
system-wide package upgrade since then?
