When logged on to my bank (business account) and setting up weekly payments I can set up a couple of them but then I get the "the connection was reset" etc error message. If I try to log in again I just keep getting the same message.

Then I have to open up Chrome, log in to the bank, and finish the job with no trouble at all. Generally I prefer to use Firefox; but maybe not for much longer!

Thanks cor-el, I'll give your suggestions a try next week when I have to log into the bank.

Will let you know how I get on; I just hope I won't have to keep on doing it every time!
