An inane change of defaults. It's a mess if everything available is put there. They're still there if you customize the toolbar, which I always do to get rid of inane additions like print, RSS, spacer, mail, etc. It seems people no more know about customizing toolbars than they do text size. Jacob Nielsen noted of the usability loss over a decade ago: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020819.html > I have never seen a similar button in Firefox. Firefox 4 has a pair available in toolbar customizations. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver." Proverbs 16:16 NKJV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
