>user agent switcher Thank you, all. Sorry I had to run out of town.
Following Graham's advice I downloaded the User Agent Switcher for Firefox. I deleted the default string identifying the browser as IceWeasel on Debian blah blah and copied in the string from Firefox on Windows, restarted Iceweasel, and the javascripts on my banking site worked perfectly. I notified the bank's web tech support, which had actually been helpful without solving anything, and I will go back to check. I can't give you a link because it's a secure account access part of the site that is the broken part. As someone else mentioned it is probably just poor design. If the site doesn't recognize your browser as one on its list of browsers able to run java plugins, then it turns them off.
