Internet Banking and IE8

For some reason, I still maintain the bank account on my old country. The hassle with that system is that bank uses active X and other security tools that are not compatible with FireFox even with IE8. I was forced to uninstall IE8 when I tried to log in KEB site using the certified verification that was stored in my usb flash memory. It was not viable for me to sign in until I remove IE8.

They do not use active X or other security tools here in NZ and also fully compatible with FireFox so I wonder the fund in my Kiwibank is safe enough from the crackers.
