I was pleasantly surprised a few months back to find Bank of America
made a point of making their site work with Firefox and announced same
on their site once they had done so.

Reminds me of my bank when I told them their web page didn't work with 
Firefox.  They were very indignant and suggested that from their logs 
99% of the people accessing their site were using IE.  Well DUH!
