[luau] First Hawaiian Bank and Mozilla

[Joe Linux]

I closed out my account at FHB because they wouldn't let me use the 
bathroom even though at the time I was suffering from some prostate 
problems.  Interestingly,  I had approximately $20,000.00 in various 
accounts there.  As a result of the incidents  I closed out my accounts 
there.  Become a good consumer;  don't bank at a place that doesn't have 
a pot to piss in,  rejects freedom of choice in browsers, and 
exclusively endorses convicted predatory monopolists.

Why is my browser's security important for Online Banking?

Most browsers allow you to access www.fhb.com and view informational 
pages. Your browser's security must be adequate to protect your privacy 
when you apply for a product, view your account information or do any 
other banking related activity that involves confidential financial 
information. To access your accounts and pay bills through FHB Online, 
we strongly recommend you use a browser that supports 128-bit encryption 
security. At minimum, we require a browser that supports at least 40-bit 
encryption security.
