Hello listers,

The bug in JFW 6.0 which causes Internet Explorer to crash on certain web 
sites has not been fixed in version 6.1.

For example, if you go to

http://www.optionsxpress.com

Click on the log-in link, and after entering a user name and password (you 
can make it up for testing purposes) after you hit the secure log-in button, 
Internet Explorer will terminate and give an error message.

After emailing FS tech support to ask if this bug was fixed in version 6.1, 
I received a vague reply. I was informed that it was worked on, and that I 
should download and test it out. (Gee...isn't testing the programmer's 
responsibility?) I wrote back to that FS tech, explaining that it would take 
me about 4 hours to download that 40 mb file, and I asked him to take a 
minute to test it out on the web site I mentioned above. He finally did test 
it, and discovered that the bug has not been fixed. No wonder 6.1 has all 
these bugs...the programmers are just writing the code and relying on the 
end-user to find the bugs!
