Speed dial is O's idea of an empty window - which I don't like as much as you don't like, I think. I gather the thought is that if you don't want a "home" page then there's no harm in using that otherwise empty space to put this wonderful feature into. Some people seem to not be bothered by it. Some people like the "always restore session" option, instead. I'll have to look up how I disabled it in mine -- it's not exactly obvious. The overwhelming reason I stick with O. is the zoom behavior. The changelog touts a bunch of new things for 9.5 -- I've not really got an opinion yet. (didn't like some of default stylistic things .. black location bar?!?) Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
