Have you tried spoofing the user-agent as IE in Konqueror? In konq
settings -> Browser Identification, it gives you choices of fake IDs
including ones for IE. I think there's an extension for firefox that
does the same thing. Have you tried allowing all popups from the site?
Maybe it's trying to open a new window when you login.
If you can't get it to work, I guess you could run IE in qemu or
vmware... and complain to your bank or switch banks. :)
