Many thanks for that. All the deliberate mistakes in this reply were successfully spell checked.

A new version of the Mozilla Firefox browser fixes a flaw that made users vulnerable to online fraud.

Scott thanks for the link. At least with Firefox I don't get timed out and lose the new topics that I am posting on FT during thier tech glitch with their BB software like I did with IE6.

Been using it since the middle of last year - and it's just about the only extension I haven't had issues with through version 1 of Firefox. A lot of other extensions had issues on the jump between FF 0.9 and 0.10 (think the naming scheme messed things up) and then to 1.0.

In additional to daily SpellBound use, I highly recommend the Bookmarks Synchronizer - https://addons.update.mozilla.org/ex...gory=Bookmarks if you've got multiple computers that you'd like to keep all the booksmarks current to.

With Firefox I don't have this problem and this spell checker was the missing link in making Firefox an every day tool.

However, I cannot for the life of me install spellbound on my office computer. Is it just me, or is the installation of some of these Firefox extensions not user friendly? Both PC's are using XP Pro, and I have followed the same steps on each download.
