Well, you could switch banks.

Or, you could install the unstable upstream Firefox releases from
mozilla.com or whatever it's called this year.  And have fun playing
"what broke this week".

Personally, I find it hard to believe your statement about a bank
requiring a *new* web browser to work.  I would be more likely to believe
"My bank requires that I use an incredibly *old* browser version."
Or even "My bank only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer."
