daftykinshmm a clients bank actually had them uninstall current Firefox and install an ESR version so they could keep using the banking service18:02
daftykinspretty damaging advice imo18:03
penguin42it's probably all they tested with18:41
daftykinsoddly i can't even find any claim of 58 having trouble online18:44
penguin42what was the failure?  I'd had at least one bank that ran into cert issues from a symantec cert18:54
daftykinsi was over for other reasons today, it was presented just in anecdotal form of "you updated Firefox and it no longer worked!" ... "blah blah, the bank had us install another" which ended up being an ESR18:55
penguin42nod18:55
daftykinsthe guy's 70 so i figured it futile to push for detail :D18:55
penguin42it's impressive they managed talking him through installing ESR18:56
daftykinsi saw some weird USB card reader plugged in with some Barclays card plugged into it18:56
daftykinsheh yeah i bet that was fun18:56
penguin42ah that's interesting, I've never had a chance to play with those18:56
daftykinstheir browser wasn't up to date before, because someone had installed windows onto a 60GB partition atop a 2009 iMac18:56
daftykins:D18:57
daftykinscome to think of it they mentioned this person had them allow remote access18:59
penguin42in that case, I hate to think19:00
daftykinsand i saw some really weird third party credential managing software that seemed capable of reading that card...19:00
penguin42I've heard of those cards before and I think standard Firefox has a plugin thing for it19:00
daftykinsin fact the more i think about it, i wonder who phoned who to begin with19:01
penguin42you thinking it was a 'Hello, this is your bank, I see you're having problems accessing your account....'19:01
daftykins:D yeah19:01
daftykinsmmm so ESR was probably needed to hang onto the old plugin format19:01
penguin42or perhaps that's the only version the guys who phoned had a hacked version of....19:03
daftykinsi think i'll be visiting Barclays on Monday :)19:09
daftykinsi'll be wiping it soon enough, i was exploring upgrades today - https://i.imgur.com/FzXdGHN.jpg19:11
daftykinslovely dust19:11
daftykinsok someone on the phone at Barclays fraud has no idea why someone'd ask for this, although he didn't seem to even understand the distinction between a browser and anti-malware software, so there y'go :)19:21
penguin42on a side note, did anyone see a power blip on Monday evening, a little after 7pm - it was enough here to knock one of our older digital clocks out and for me to see a flourescent light go fully out; I'm thinking it was interestingly close in time to the teeside substation going pop but I think it was slightly later19:32
daftykinsjust watched a video of that, cor19:36
