Another Banking site not working

Unread post by 4DPrinter » 2019-12-15, 19:55

I tried to access VW-Bank (Germany) - but the login-page returns completely empty.
I use Pale Moon a lot, and this is the first site I ever had a real problem with...

https://banking.vwfs.de/PBODE-FE-UI/#/login

Firefox works. But with Palemoon it didn't work (tried Windows and Linux).

Code: Select all

ReferenceError: AbortController is not defined
Seems to be some sort of regression in v28.8.0, because the page loads just fine in v28.7.2.

The "regression" being that 28.7 identified itself as an older version of Firefox in Firefox compatibility mode.
The bank probably needs a site-specific user-agent override to fix this. Try a Firefox 60 one.

I already tried a few UA overrides, before posting earlier, but I was unable to find one that fixed the problem.

Same result as Tomaso. FF60 override doesn't fix it; still blank page with same console error.
Likewise with SSUAOs for FF 71, 68, 52, for current Chrome, and PM's native UA.
And the site does display here in 28.7.2.

Then they probably do "spot-check" feature detection (i.e. testing for one particular feature and assuming it is Browser X or Y based on the result).
If it was a UA check it would be easy to fool, but not otherwise.
