BankID Personal
In Sweden and some other countries many banks use an authorization method called BankID which uses a small program "Personal" which is called from the web browser. For some reason it does not work in TFF from ver 6 up to 10 (it did work in ver 5). Also FF had this problem with ver 6 I think but they resolved it from ver 7 and it works fine in ver 8, 9 and 10.
Would be very fine if you could fix this.
To check you could go to the link
https://www.hoistspar.se/
and click on LOGGA IN (login) in the upper right corner.
I have attached two versions of the Personal program which needs
to be installed (there is an uninstall menu item just in case)
ver 4.15 is for 10.4 Tiger and 4.18 is for 10.5 Leopard
Kind regards
Olle

I installed Personal.app on a 10.4.11 test system. Clicking LOGGA IN results in a message
„Du verkar inte ha Bank ID Säkerhetsprogram installerat eller så behöver den uppdateras“
in TFF 4.0.3, 5.0 and 10.0, so it doesn't seem to work in any version. In Firefox 3.6.26 the Personal.app is indeed called and requests to authenticate.
So far, so good. Cameron?

Hello Chris,
many thanks for the quick reply.
I tried with the TFF 5.0 again and it worked for me, both the 7400 on a PowerMac G4 and the G5 on a PowerMac G5. Perhaps you did not have the Personal.app in the Applications folder when you tested TFF 5.0?

I had Personal.app in the Applications folder, and, as I said, it worked as expected with Firefox 3.6. Now we need to figure out why it doesn't work with some or all versions of TFF.

Personal installs a browser plugin, and TenFourFox does not support plugins. If you look under about:plugins in 3.6, you should see it installed.
That said, the plugin does not appear to work correctly in 10.4Fx even with enabling forced on, and this may be due to plugin changes implemented by Mozilla (you already discovered this with Firefox). If you know of a fix in hand, I will consider implementing it, but in general because of this and other issues plugin problems are no longer accepted. Camino may be your best solution in this case.

Hello Cameron,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look into this problem. Sorry I
had not seen that Personal used a plug-in and that I had forgotten
that 10.4Fx does not support plug-ins.
I think I understand now what happened when Personal started to work
again with Firefox. I guess both Firefox and Personal were updated to
fix the problem. The latest version of Personal ver 4.18 works with
Firefox 10, but it can not be installed (and does not work) on 10.4
Tiger but does work on 10.5 Leopard both Intel and PowerPC so I tried
10.4Fx ver 10 with enabled plug-ins, and surprise, it worked
perfectly. So I can now use 10.4Fx with Personal on my PowerMac G5 and
PowerBook G4 running 10.5 anyway.
(Personal 4.15 which can be installed on 10.4 Tiger does not work with
recent Firefox or 10.4Fx on any system)
Perhaps you could consider enabling "safe" plug-ins by default and
disable the rest rather than disabling all.
Best regards
Olle

I'm glad it is operating for you. Please reopen if there are further issues related to this.
