I think it's definitely worthwhile to install firefox just to have DPR.
They always seem to keep adding nice new features, and the bugs your
teacher are talking about may be gone by now. The current version has a
sanskrit dictionary, Thai tipitaka, offline access to insight english
translation links to all the pali suttas that are translated, the word
analysis shows mappings for conjugations and declensions. I think DPR is
less than 100 megs total with all the extras.
