TBH I have long been a fan of Firefox but am wary of trying it on my new set-up and have, thus far, stuck with IE. Ditto Thunderbird for emails. Much better filters etc ..... rubschin: P'raps the spell checker will work with that  rubschin:

What's his is "ours" and what's hers is "hers" ..... is more normal. I look to DS for confirmation of this. whistle:

Ahhhh see it does work like that, really. It's just he hasn't quite grasped that it will be easier if I am giving access to all his financial matters.

What's your's is mine and what's mine is mine.

To change this setting, follow these steps:

    * Type about:config into the address bar in firefox.
    * Type in browser.enable in the Filter bar and hit enter
    * When you see "browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing", double click it and the value will change to false.
