Has IE been hijacked?

Today I noticed that the first login page for IE (2nd pic) has changed yet the URL is exactly the same as that for FF. I've never noticed a website being so obviously different between FF & IE so am a little concerned. I haven't used IE to log onto SWMBO's yet as I'd thought I'd ask here before asking Barclays.
Edit: Pics changed
Chrome's display is the same as FF

Would still like some sort of explanation before logging back in.
For now will use Chrome to login to for SWMBO.

The only thing is that I had just logged into my account in FF minutes before thinking of logging into SWMBO's and that's when I noticed the difference. Would Barclays have different webpages for different browsers?

They might however, attempt to cater for different O/S platforms / mobiles IAD's etc

IE is showing as it had always been and now FF is showing the login page as per the original change in IE
Edit: The page displayed is the login page from when Barclays auto-loged me out after a a few minutes of inactivity.

Have you tried an earlier system restore point ?
Have you tried running the browser(s) without add-ons etc ?
Have you tried safe-mode with networking ?

Anyway, just had a long chat with Barclays about this and am assured that the site has just been updated. What the agent described is exactly what I could see so all seems OK. For peace of mind I logged in while on the phone and we transferred money between accounts which we could both see so I am pretty happy that all is as it should be.
The only strange thing is that IE suddenly failed to display the site at all bringing up an error. I cleared cookies again and now it again shows the old login page. Maybe Barclays are continuously making adjustments and I just happen to be caught up in it somehow,

One can't be too careful these days
Some may say different (however they may not have been in the same / similar situation)

The second time didn't hit us so bad as we had built up a little savings but was still a shock and PITA.
As I said, I now check all accounts thoroughly and regularly. I have an accounting package which I make balance with all accounts on a weekly basis. Belt and braces approach !
