The problem here is you're being given an honest answer.  Programmers can't test
everything,the user will find some buggs.  The programmer should never say and
tell tech support to say you have to test that out, unless it's bata or you can
access the source code.  There is a new feature allowing you to disable style
sheets under the personalized settings.  According to the little feature page,
this may fix some problems.

Subject: 6.1 causes Internet Explorer to crash


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!
