Cloaking a Mac browser?

I'm now using a Mac and find that some sites (especially banks) won't 'talk' to a Mac (even though I'm using Firefox as my browser).

Is there some way I can make websites believe they're talking to a PC instead of a Mac?

Thanks

JJ

Nope!

Well you probably could fake the Useragent string but it wouldn't change the fact that some things won't run on a Mac OS.
