I see what you mean.  Tried on an Ubuntu 64-bit virtual machine.  But I noticed
that in Hardy an older version of icedtea is being used:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.4.1) (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)

In Fedora, where things seem to be working better (at least as far as I am able
to try without an account at this bank):

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.5) (fedora-27.b16.fc11-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b15, mixed mode)

I don't see a newer version in jaunty-backports, but I do see a newer version
in Karmic (based only on browsing on the website).  Possibly you could request
that Ubuntu make it available via jaunty-backports?  I'm not a regular Ubuntu
user so I'm not familiar with their processes.

Not having an account, I won't be able to test post-login behavior.  If someone
with an account is able to try with a newer version of the plugin, feedback
regarding the success (hopefully) or alternatively lack of would be
appreciated.

If it's not working any better with a more current version, try running firefox
from the command line and post any output, and even better would be to run
"ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox" and attach ~/.icedteaplugin/java.stdout and
~/.icedteaplugin/java.stderr to this bug report.

thx
