Found it. The bug is actually in Dropbox. Shut down Dropbox and Word works fine. The browser thing is a further complication or just a mistaken observation.
How this could ever be possible is way beyond me.
Dropbox is a great piece of technology that is continuously annoying.

A client requested using Dropbox. I found every "Save" trying to go to Dropbox, so I killed it. ...Jim Thompson

I'm looking for work... see my website.

DB doesn't have to be a system device or show up in save menus. I have my hard drive partitioned into C and D, with the dropbox folder on D. Same on my other PCs. If I deliberately copy files from C into the dropbox folder, it's shared on all PCs. It's like carrying a memory stick around without the hassle.
Since Windows forces the default same-drive drag-drop to be "move" rather than "copy", it's good to have a D drive.

Or you can right-click and select "move" instead of "copy". I put my work stuff on the D: drive too, but mainly to make it easier to back up. On my work laptop the D: drive is rotating (C: is an SSD), which works, too.
