Did you just post here to make a completely unrelated rant, or what? You may not have realized this change is a positive security enhancement, as Stephan Fischer posted about it mere minutes before you, but, really, you were clearly not even trying to be helpful at all. ... Also, I am not really sure what your complaint about the History is, generally I *want* to go to the link I clicked in the foreground... but okay, switch back to the History window if you really need to. If you really wanted to complain about something, maybe you should complain about the fact that the History only "remembers" the last time you visited a link... i.e. right "now", when you clicked on it in the History window. So maybe brush up on your effective-complaining skills, in addition to your relevancy skills... -- Eli Schwartz
