Online banking OT

I've had a [leave page] or [stay on page] options when FF has frozen or something esle has happened.

My bank always logs me off after 5 or so miniutes of inactivity.

BREXIT ;-)

I'm with NatWest and use Firefox but not Rapport (IBM made me redundant after 25 years so sod that). Just tried NWOLB and everything seems normal to me.

FWLIW I tried a simple test (while I was sat waiting for an SMS). I logged into NatWest, disabled the network adapter, waited 8 minutes, then enabled it. It hadn't timed out. That seems to me to suggest your problem isn't an intermittent loss of connection.

From the willy waving above:-) I wonder if my machine is not accepting their cookie?

I don't get the option of remaining logged in. It just puts up the 10 minute expiry screen after only a few seconds and dumps me back to the log on page.

I'll have a nose round the Firefox settings.

Why continue to use a bank which insists you use certain software?

Crikey - I'd thought you meant you were being timed out after minutes.

With personal accounts it certainly won't work if you have Firefox set to reject their (nwolb.com) cookies but in that case you don't even get to enter your PIN/password characters. That's about the limit of my willy ;)

Try Internet Explorer (assuming your Windows Updates are up to date)?

you do get that option.

cookies will be issued *after* the login has succeeded, so its the next access that will fail,.

Firefox has good tools to examine what cookies are set

Its under privacy in the preferneces section I think.

No, *I* don't get that option. *You* might. But I am puzzled how. Are you saying you can load

It's a bit early for pantomime "oh no it isn't" so I'll leave as a great mystery why that's not what I get on the several machines I use to access Natwest online banking.

IMHO it's easier for a single site to right click in the page, select View Page Info, and then the Permissions tab.

On my Firefox, it's the Security tab!

I've wondered if the Firefox team are looking to match the evolutionary speed of the Haggunenon :)

Doesn't look like it, but it works if you allow session cookies while blocking 3rd party and persistent cookies.

Of course.

The first load is what SETS the cookies - aboot 20 of em when I tried Then logging in will set more.

You can load any page without cookies. The only way to dsable that functionbality is to have javascript the does different things AFTER you have loaded if cookies have not been set.

Which is what I assume every single 'this site uses cookies accept/abort' popup does.

Then they have cookies enabled

Ummm......

.....am I the only one using Chrome?

FWIW I don't have Rapport installed despite prompts and the time out period seems reasonable.

Perhaps I should move more of my activities over to Firefox.

Very sensible. I've always refused Rapport, although haven't been 'offered' it for a while.

No chance!

I using firefox FSR 64 bit on OS X. I don't use rapport.

No. I use Chrome and Internet Banking works fine for both NatWest and HSBC.

I don't run rapport because (i) It's crap & (ii) I'm running Linux.

Sorry. I've just had to fiddle with settings on another site and realise we read "see what cookies are set" differently. Your reading was more literal - and accurate :) - to see the individual cookies. I read it as "see what types of cookies if any are allowed" (and change that to see if it helps) as I was thinking of what Tim Lmab might try. Apologies too to him if I just confused matters more.

You must have plenty of memory and CPU, and be running 64-bit Windows, because it's a notorious resource hog. It's not a bad browser but forks a new process for each tab opened and brings resource-limited machines to their knees.

And, of course, it uploads everything you do online to the Google mothership. That naughty late-night visit while in your cups to sexy- farm-beasts.com? Google knows all about it.
