The Bank say it is not a problem with their website but with the Browser. There is no way to access the bottom of the page so you can't pay bill online because you can't access the Pay button.

Afraid none of this works so I guess it is a problem with the Bank of Scotland web page? It is only on their site that the problem arises. Any advice? They are washing their hands of it

Than Bank say they have reported this to Mozilla - I hope you can fix it soon. To clarify, the scrolling option nto move around the page is disabled and you can't do any of the fancy things like reloading the page (as suggested above) without logging in again. Over to you guys.......
