how to load and use version50? Wells Fargo does not support lastest version of Firefox!

Wells Fargo bank has decided NOT to support the 3 newest versions of Firefox, Microsoft 11, Safari- NOT SUPPORTED, and Google Chrome 55 or higher. This has caused me major problems. If I can find out "if" I can load Firefox 50 I can get back on Wells Fargo on line banking. Yhis problem started after July 7 when the updated their user agreement. This just proves that Wells Fargo DOES NOT CARE!!!

It's quite difficult for them to find out, what version are you using. They're probably checking only the user agent, so it's enough to install this addon and set whatever browser for their site.

wells fargo online banking do NOT support Firefox versions above version 50.

They are really slow to adapt to browser changes.

Do you only see a warning message or is the website blocking you?

It is quite possible that they haven't tested their website with recent Firefox versions and show a warning, but do not block Firefox.


Why am I getting the error "For Online Access with Wells Fargo You Must Use a Supported Browser"?

You may get this message when attempting to enroll for or access Wells Fargo Online® with an outdated, beta, or newly-released browser. You may also experience this problem after installing new software on your computer.

To find the list of hardware and software requirements, including browsers we support, for Wells Fargo Online, see our hardware and software requirements.

If you receive this error after installing the latest release of your browser, please be aware there may be a delay following a new browser release before we approve it for accessing accounts online. Prior to approval, Wells Fargo insures that new browser releases meet our stringent security standards.
What do I do if my new browser is not yet supported?

If you are using the latest release of your browser, please be aware that there may be a delay in our support of the new browser release while we conduct a review to ensure it meets our security standards. We recommend that you download and install a supported browser until the new version is officially supported.

It doesn't make sense to downgrade Firefox just for one site.

How often do you need to use Wells Fargo's site? To avoid security risk in your general browsing, you could use a "portable" version of Firefox 50.1.0 for those times.

There are several language selections, so make sure to download the one with your preferred language in the file name.

After downloading, run the EXE installer and it will drop a clean version of Firefox into a folder -- I suggest just keeping it in the Downloads folder for convenient access. It doesn't interfere with your main installation of Firefox, but you may not be able to run them at the same time.

For your regular installation of Firefox, if you don't already, you could consider changing your startup setting from "Show your home page" to "Show your windows and tabs from last time" so that you can resume your work more quickly. (Assuming you use regular windows rather than private windows, and don't flush all your history at every shutdown.)
