<br> I tried paying my BSNL landline and mobile bills online using Firefox 3.0. I could complete my landline transaction, but not my Cellone using firefox. I also tried user agent switcher( Internet explorer) . Ultimately I succeeded using windows xp in virtual box(using IE of course).<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br>Yes, there are many sites, which proudly say they work on IE only. I cannot remember, but perhaps PNB bank site even says "For secure transaction, use IE only" and works with IE only. I don't know why? Mainly this is not wrong with the PNB, but those Software Giants in India, which has most faith in Microsoft technologies and had never peeked out of their room. They may not be knowing about the wornderful opensource available to us and the bleeding edge technology. <br>
</div></div><br>So, perhaps, while browsing these sites, you won't be able to perform the transaction. You can try to use the IE4Linux (i guess the name is correct) on Ubuntu for those sites, or can have Windows on VirtualBox for such difficult situation. :)<br>
<br></blockquote></div></div><div>But <b>User Agent Switcher </b>addon for Firefox should help in such case. Latest version simulates IE 6,7,8.<br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
</blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>Not necessarily. User Agent Switcher only sends IE (or the agent you configure) with the page request. There can be javascript code, activex controls etc which only works with IE, and not with FF or other browsers. <br>
