5. I use Firefox and Mozilla and don't have any problem with it...

...What I'm wondering is, since the spell checker window is a pop-up, and if you're blocking pop-ups, would that be causing the problem. It may be worth looking at.

6. You have to "tell" Firefox to allow pop ups from DU.
I've installed Mozilla Firefox on 2 laptops, and each time I had to enable pop ups from DU.

Now, if I could just remember how I did that.

Oh, yeah.

Tools.

Options.

Web Features.

Allowed sites.
