    There is another manner of getting around this, I noted that FF started behaving erratically in the last week or two. There have been some updates in the background.

    Top RHS of menu bar, there are 3 lines, click on it.
    Then at the bottom of that menu, there is the "?", click on it
    Look for "Troubleshooting Information", click on it
    On the next screen there will be info, top RHS see the section that says :Give Firefox a tune up", below it press the "Refresh Fire Fox"

    Fire Fox does some maintenance and clean up, and tends to work well again.
    I have also found that googling with the problem you have with Fire Fox in the search line brings some excellent replies and solutions.

    Did all the refresh things etc - did not work.
    Only a complete refresh did the trick.
    Firefox (the reloaded one now and the old one) is very slow and not responding half the time. I thought it may be windows, but chrome works with no problems.
    I prefer FF because chrome (google) was getting too intrusive and trying to dictate my browsing habits and not letting me onto sites at one stage a while back.
    What is everyone else using out there?

    I agree 100%
    However....for my business....

    I have retried FNB and found them to be a bigger nightmare than standard. Which was a previous assessment but thought they may have changed. Bad move.
    I also have absa accounts, which have created many hours of joyful standing in queues to eventually speak to uninterested (or is it disinterested?) uninformed, unconcerned apathetic..(add your own expletives here)...morons who apply fuzzy logic with a tinge of up yours to what must be an attempt to liven up their day.
    I had some nedbank accounts - I could not get a postal address changed, so took the lady at the reception a bet that I could close the accounts faster and easier than getting the address changed. This was after a month of hassle and then more hustle and hassle when I was there in person. Five minutes later walked out with a cheque and no more nedbank problems. The receptionist came running after me to try and save their day but alas......I have never been back.
    I have also closed a standard bank account about a year back where I received a cheque but never gave them any id or details other than to confirm which name should go on the cheque. So much for their fica (marketing) security scenario.

    Is there any other choice?

    I am not sure whether Capitec does business accounts yet
    A friend of mine did Bank of Athens for many years, then a year or so ago, discovered some fraudulent stuff happening on his account by some of the staff there. In true banking form they closed ranks and would not acknowledge any claims. I think they partner with absa so may still have to bend for their rules and bs.
    But who knows...may get the bouzouki out and play a tune there.

    I understand what some are doing is opening a personal account, and then using Capitec's sub-account structure for their business account purposes.

    I read somewhere that Bidvest had started a bank, don't know anyone using it. But I nominate Marq to test them and report back.

    mmmm...I am all for being at the bleeding edge but......banking and guinea pig doesn't seem to go together.
    However will have a look and investigate a bit further.
    Thanks for the input
