It works fine if flash is disabled.

Try the flashblock extension: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

Citicards website uses User-Agent controls to "limit" security breaches using unauthorized browsers. Citibank cites that customers must use Windows Internet Explorer or Firefox for the safest browsing experience.

Personally, I use Citibank as well, using User-Agent Switcher Firefox Plugin, I just tell Citibank I'm using IE7/Vista and I'm able to use their website with no issues. This is not the fault of Firefox, Flash, or Linux, simply a fault of poor design on Citibank's website.
