New Features in SSM 10.1 SP5

Strategy Management 10.1 SP5 is available for download and includes multiple functional enhancements.
Group access for Reports/Dashboards/Briefing Books
Ability to manage drafts and "publish" Briefing Books
Internet Explorer 11 support
Semi-Annual periodicity option to Scorecards/Reports
iPad enhancements
Briefing Books tab added when viewing SSM in iPad

Chris,
Has the semi-annual capability also been included in Entry and Approval?
Is there anything other than the checkbox on the Administration Set Defaults page that needs to be enabled?
We're trying to add semi-annual KPIs into a model but the metrics are not showing up in the left hand selector box on the E&A Defaults page!
Regards
Colin

New feature in SP5: Closing a popup window raises an event

I'm trying to use this new feature that came in SP5, "Popup Enhancement - Closing a popup window raises an event to the containing iView". Can anyone give me an example of how this works? In the configure element for the popup, there is a new field called, 'Closure Event'. I though by adding by event to this new field, that the event will be raised after closing the popup window, but it didn't. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
you should add an end-point to the popup and/or use the "Close" action.
there's a difference between when closing the popup implicitly or explicitly

New Features @ Visual Composer 7.01: Blog Series

Hi,
first of all thank you for your effort to provide this feature in 7.00.
We are running 7.00 SP22 on Unix (Sun Solaris). I was able to deploy the zip-files of the Xcelsius example components using flash component manager and use the controls in the storyboard, but when running the application nothing happens (e.g. passed value to the input port of the gauge control, but component is always showing 50%).
Is in 7.00 SP22 also an issue concerning Unix platforms as in 7.01, where flash components + SP5 only work on windows platform?
Regards
Klaus

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

I'm still reading through the manual as well...and so far I do not see any mention of an improvement of the SRC (sample rate conversion), which was an issue.
I hope they have re-done that code in this update. I will probably email Apple, although, they never answer...so...

A Success Story & First Impressions of New Features

Like many of you I was plagued with some of the serious problems with updating my Domain file: disappearing photos, missing blog comments, missing link bars at the top of the page etc. I tried the various tip and tricks sugested here with no luck. When the 2.01 update to iWeb appeared last Friday I downloaded it but I held off using it. I had already lost about 6 hours out of my life playing around with iWeb 2.0 with nothing to show for it. After reading many posts saying it didn't help I was going to hold off.
Don't ask me why, but I changed my mind. Monday I started working on my site. Creating 10 album pages to replace my homegrown versions, adding some navigation aids, relinking etc. I also moved the photo I wanted to show as the album preview to the first position on each photo page. All in all I spent about 8 hours working on the site. I would save every 10 minutes or so and duplicate the domain file and keep several generations of these around. There were no missing photos, crashes or hiccups of any kind.
This morning I uploaded the site. The first thing I noticed is this version of iWeb seems to be faster creating the files to be uploaded. Much faster. I'm not sure if this is an improvement to the code or a result of the smaller domain files created in iWeb 2. Instead of 15 minutes or so it took 5. The first upload of the files to .mac took just as long as ever, nearly 45 minutes on a high speed cable modem connection. As the upload was completing the first hiccup occured-the upload failed with a message saying there was an error creating a file. I was not optomistic at this point. I figured I was having the upload problem others have reported. All my page icons were back to red and I figured it was back to square 1. At least all the content was still in the Domain file.
When I hit the upload button the second time it took the same 5 minutes to create the files, but the upload to 30 seconds. It evidently just repaced the file that had the problem. I have since made edits to my site several times and iWeb seems to be much faster uploading the pages. I get the impression it doesn't reupload the whole page content but merely uploads the changed portion. I added a text box to 30 pages and the changes uploaded to .mac in about a minute. I am very pleased with this increase in speed.
As for the site itself I love the new features. I love the picture gallery where clicking on a picture opens up a larger copy and gives you thumbs of the other pages. I tried my site in 3 different Mac browsers with no issues and also the latest IE for Windows running under Parallels 3. Unlike what others have reported, my slideshows appear normal size on the PC. I like the new album pages and the automatic linking they provide. In iWeb itself I like being able to collapse the album folder to reduce the clutter in the navigation sidebar. I like the fact you can create a blank page now. You don't have to strip another page type to get a blank page. The skimming effect on album pages works equally well on the Mac or PC side. One interesting thing I have noticed is the picture captions are in a different font on the PC side. I use the Freestyle template for my site and the picture captions are in a handwritten style font (Handwritten-Dakota). In the past these would be converted to .png image files so they would display correctly on the PC. In this version the fonts are rendered in a serif font that looks like times. I imagine this may make the page load faster but I'm not surre if I like this feature or not. The page does look drastically different.
Speaking of dislikes there are a couple. I wish iWeb would ask you before it goes and downsamples your photos while converting to the 2.0 format. I don't like the idea that if you want to use the high quality hi res versions you have to reinsert and recaption them. Like many others I would like to be able to turn off the download button when viewing the photo galleries.
While I think Apple deserve a spanking for the initial release of iWeb 2.0, now that the patch seems to be working for me I feel it is a worthy upgrade. I am 90 percent happy with the new features and I think the other 10 percent can be tweaked by Apple in response to user feedback. If you'd care to stop by and visit my site here is the address:
http://web.mac.com/jmahoney
I hope those of you still having trouble will get your sites up and runing soon. If you held off on the 2.01 upgrade, you might want to give it a shot (after backing up your Domain file). I was pleasantly surprised.
Jim Mahoney

Thanks for your account and experience with the new iWeb.
Nice site now, although vegetarians better skip it
I personally got rather hungry viewing it. And it is only 13.30 here.

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks

p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

What is the best way to communicate my displeasure with new features?

tl;dr How can I complain to FireFox about the new search bar in new tabs? (Or other new features)
I've seen a question or two here about this new feature already, and it's quite obvious that the developers at FireFox are not exactly interested in what their users think of this particular feature.
The feature I'm referring to is the new search bar in the New Tab.
I've attempted a fix mentioned in a previous post (create a sub-directory 'Chrome' and create a CSS file containing specific style commands) and it did not work. I've tried a couple of other fixes mentioned on third party websites as well, to no avail.
Knowing that FireFox would add something like this without allowing an option to disable it is quite disheartening. I've been enjoying my daily use of FireFox over other browsers I had used in the past because they were cluttered and unclean, and at the time FireFox was not. This search bar has ruined that. My pinned tabs have been squashed to roughly half their original size, and the search bar is unsightly, at best.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already have a search bar at the top of the screen? I fail to see any purpose in this, except to annoy users. If there is a further purpose, please inform me (though to be completely honest, it will not change my opinion here, though it may soften the damage done)
As of yet, there have been very few features in FireFox that I have been displeased with, and each of them was shortly followed by an add-on to disable them (Or they had come with an option for disabling upon release)
I'm not here asking for help as to how to remove the search bar, I'm here asking for a link that I can use to directly inform the developers of FireFox of my opinions regarding this update.
On a third party site I read an article that claimed one of the developers made mention of an option for users to disable this search bar... According to the article, he never received a reply.
That gets me thinking, if FireFox won't listen to it's own team, should we expect them to listen to us?
I'm quite close to simply leaving FireFox because of this feature, as now it's little better than what I've left behind in the past. PaleMoon was nice, though a bit slower.
I'm not saying that I'm going to stop using FireFox, only that I'm quite put off because of what I've read, and the lack of an option to disable this feature.
If such an option exists already, please give me instruction as to how to do so, and then kindly disregard this query.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a nice day,
Dillon P.

Sorry I am only another Firefox user and do not really see anyway of helping you with this quest.
You may use feedback and make short comments.

*And see comments made from the interactive page https://input.mozilla.org
Statistical data from the comments are made available to developers and others.
AFAIK no one from Mozilla is likely to wish to engage in conversations about newly introduced features or deliberate feature regressions. Developers did post on the forum for a day or two after the introduction of Firefox 29 (Australis) but did not hang around and the subject of Firefox development is again considered to be off topic and outside the scope of this forum.
The forum manager who will confirm this is off topic is Madalina. (Listing & contact details https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/meet-team )
This is a link [/questions/998084#answer-566525] relating to one developers comments from back when it was on topic.

if you do discover anywhere where staff welcome discussion and engage with end users please let us know.
I will tag this post as '''escalate''' so that at least it is seen by HelpDesk staff maybe they are aware of some method end users may use to engage in dialogue, besides posting one way input comments.
IIRC there was talk of listing any such resources if they were discovered, so that we could post more helpful replies than this one.
We do not specifically deal with hacks to Firefox on this forum but will try to help with advice, mainly saying use addons. Please continue to post if you have direct questions you think we may be able to assist with.

Hi..
here can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.
