That's the one. Setting it to "enable" fixes my problem. There's an
associated risk but I'll have to take it. I need to see what certain secure
websites will otherwise not show me. I'm told that's bad web design, but if
so it's fairly common on the internet. Some pretty essential and otherwise
reliable sites have the "flaw". The one I'm thinking of is one of the bigger
domain registrars. The "flaw" happens with their WhoIs lookup.
