1)Chrome-Is there any way to stop the URL from flashing in the bottom left hand corner every few seconds? I’ve glanced at the settings and I didn’t see anything, but I’ll admit I didn’t look all that hard. Also, it doesn’t appear to be the URL for the page I’m on so I’m not exactly sure what it is, either way it’s annoying when I keep seeing it in the corner of my eye. 2)Is there a better Spell Check for Firefox? The one that came with it is terrible. Often times the words it chooses to replace the incorrect word aren’t even close to being correct and I end up either using Google to find the correct spelling (and then cut and pasting it in) or attempt to spell the word incorrectly differently hoping it’ll come up with the right spelling. I’m using FF 3.6 if that makes a difference which brings me to… 3)For the last few weeks up until about a week ago FF was nagging me every few hours to update to the newest release and it wasn’t just the standard “Hey, wanna update? No? Okay then” It was a bit more aggressive then that. I _really_ like 3.6 and haven’t really cared as much for the later releases which is why I stuck with this one. Am I really opening myself up to all kinds of security breaches by staying with an older version? Should I be worried? Should I bite the bullet and update and just get used to the latest release? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/three-quick-browser-questions/623994)._
