What bank is this? What's the url? Have you complained to them, telling
them that you would like support for Opera and Mozilla or a new bank?
Have you tried 'faking it'? There was a thread not too long ago where
someone mentioned that you can set the browser tag in Opera so it looks
like NS4. The two ways I can think of off of the top of my head for
identifying a browser are looking at the browser tag or running
javascript to check for some functions. Maybe there is a need for
Mozilla to have a 'pretend I'm NS4' mode.

How about purging communicator-smotif as well since that is what your
alternatives is pointing too for 'netscape'.

Can someone tell me how I go about reparing Netscape?
Sorry. I don't know if I can help you with that directly. I can give you
some pointers on the package management though.
Try dselect or even better aptitude. Use their search features to find
all the installed netscape and communicator packages installed and purge
them all. Then re-install.
