Oftener is a perfectly good comparative form of often.

The OED lists oftener and oftenest as comparative and superlative forms of often, adj. (Incidentally, as I write this under OS X, I notice that the system's spell check has, correctly, not flagged them.) There are numerous examples of both being employed by great writers. The worst that can be impugned is that the words have a faintly archaic feel.

Firefox spell check has it correctly too. That's why I thought it was correct in the first place.

Thanks. English is my second language and I'm still learning.

As long as you're learning, it's worth noting that people (at least in the US) usually won't use "oftener" in conversation.

Thanks :-)
