Actually, I use Firebird and the Macromedia plug-ins work with no problem.
As I recall, it was an easy install. Just go to the plug-in page and
download them.
As far as automatically downloading the bank statements, I'm not familiar
with a product that does but that in no way means its not available. Just
about any checkbook program can take the text download file and import it.
I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but it's close.

Hey, I wasn't asking for a free program, just any program.
Macromedia won't write it, Quicken won't write it. How could
I possibly have the resources to meet with the bank, get
transaction download specs, etc. I'll pay for Quicken for
Linux, but I don't have the time to write that. I'm just
pointing out that RH9 is not good enough on the internet front even
(especially) for kids.
