Not true.  I have no problems on a range of bank and building soc sites 
with Firefox.  Just one site's layout is a tiny bit mangled.  (The only site I 
have found that won't handle Firefox is the Jobcentreplus website, and 
McAfee virus scan needs IE to do updates - but that's my problem for 
using Windows).
