I thought it worked for me -- but maybe I've always tried it with stable.
Let's see, I.m running mozilla firefox on etch with a debian 2.6.12 kernel.
The etch was installed a few months ago  by upgrading from woody to sarge
and then immediately from sarge to etch.  The mozilla-firefox is, I believe,
the Debian package.  I just upgraded the system using aptitude this morning.

So I'll try it now.

Browser comes up OK.  Now enter the URL http://scotiaonline.scotiabank.com
and nothing happens, except for the little busy whell turning.

Stop that.  Try again with http://www.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com
The URL bar turns yellow, and the URL changes to
https://www.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com/online/start.jsp?language=
and firefox presents a login screen.  It then lets me log in.  It lets me
look at recent transaction in my acocunt.

Does this not work for you?

On the help menu I choose "about Firefox" and it tells me version 1.0.6, some
stuff it won't let me cut and paste, anmd then a too-small scrolling region
that I can cut and paste, saying:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050911 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-5)
