My bank (or rather, the bank I'm about to transfer to) was very happy to hear
suggestions of this nature. It's the Co-Op bank, in the UK -- they do
ethical banking (won't invest in non-ethical things like arms/pollution/etc),
so this isn't such a huge step for them, especially with the disabled users
angle.
Moreover, they actually listed not only mozilla but konqueror, too, as
known-good browsers!
Maybe it's time to vote with your feet, and support organisations that support
your beliefs? :)
