Petition: Bring back FM recordi

Probably fruitless, but let's try and make our views heard and see if we can create a hot thread!?(Even if you don't use this feature please sign if you agree with the principle that new firmwares should not remove paid-for features that are not in themselves illegal.)?To sign the petition, please just reply to this message.

Yep. I am currently looking for a wonderful mp3 wi-fi enabled device that can also be used to record conferences that, for the benefit of hard-of-hearing attendees, are broadcast on private FM channels. I thought I had found the perfect solution in Creative Labs!! But I guess I'll keep looking, unless they bring back FM recording before I purchase something else. Creative Labs, you've lost another potential customer!! And being a programmer and web developer who's fairly well off, I would certainly have advocated your products to all of my clients... but not with them crippled the way they currently are!

Bring Back the Records From R/3 To BW

Hi Friends
We have a Generic data source and define ERDAT as Delta Field of type Calender day.after data coming to BW,we delete some records by using routine.we bring back these records from R/3 to BW.
For Example : 01.03.2006 and 02.03.2006 records are available but 03.03.2006 to 03.28.2006 records are not available in bw. how do we bring back these records from
R/3 to BW.
(Delta Queue contains:-Date on which the record was created is 03.03.2006)
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Hi,
There is no other way you can give selections on for the same, and you need to create another InfoPackage and then choose the required dates through the selections within the same.
And you are not making any changes at the InfoPackage Level? And there is no relevancy whatsoever for the Delta Mechanism.
You got to pull records from R/3 with the specific Dates you got to make selections in InfoPackage in BW.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar

Mechanism to bring back delta records

Hi,
We have got all delta datasources, during last month-end, we found some delta records are missing. What could be the best approach to bring back those missed records. but those records are huge.
What is the best solution? Is Re-initialization with out data transfer? or full load for those dates by undeleting the current requests after those dates?
Thanks in Advance,
Suman

Hi ,
You can delete the setup table and re-fill it , then If you know the document numbers of those records or creation date , etc , you can give those in the selection and load the repair full load for those missed records.
If the V3 job is active then it will fill the delta queue with the recent data , so that the previous delta cannot be pulled.
regards,
karthik.

Petition to bring back "Print PDF" to InDesign

Would anyone else like to join a petition for bringing back "Print PDF" as an option in the InDesign Print menu?
I am on CS4 and my colleagues are on CS5 and they have no end of problems getting their PDFs the way they want them from the command near the Export options under FILE.
We work at a printers and in the end my colleagues come to me with CS4 to get the print ready files through to our RIP for making plates for litho printing.
The vital parts that are missing for CS5 is the option to choose the sheet size of the PDF and much more precise management of the colours and DPI/LPI.
We can't afford the latest kit for everything or to upgrade everything just because InDesign CS5 has lost a bit of functionality. I don't know what I'll do when it comes to my turn to upgrade and I know that there will be consequences for how we get our InDesign files through for printing. One big headache.
Why oh why oh why did Adobe decide to take this extra functionality away?

On behalf of Adobe:
I assume you are referring to InDesign running on under MacOS.
(1)     Adobe never “took away” any ability to produce PDF via distillation of PostScript. In what was described by Apple as a security enhancement, Apple themselves disabled the ability of Adobe Acrobat to have an automated “print to Distiller” capability via the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance on the Macintosh (this feature remains available under Windows). If you are going to complain to anyone, complain to Apple. This has nothing to do with a particular version of either InDesign or the Creative Suite, but rather, MacOS version.
(2)     You still can conceivably produce PDF via distillation of PostScript by producing a PostScript file and then either manually distilling it or using the “watched folder” capability to automate the process of distilling PostScript into PDF.
A “petition” isn't going to change anything in this regards.
However, even though production of PDF via distillation of PostScript is still available, albeit not quite as convenient, we would wonder why you believe that you need to produce PDF in that manner?
PostScript generated by InDesign is not optimized for creation of PDF, but rather for printing directly to a PostScript device. It is highly device dependent with no support of color management and live transparency. It is created for a specific page size, a specific device resolution, and a specific color space. The fonts are embedded in the PostScript file in a manner that is not conducive for high reliability PDF creation.
Adobe most strongly recommends that all PDF creation from InDesign be performed by the Export function in which PDF is directly generated from the InDesign document without any PostScript intermediary. This provides the ability to produce highly optimized, device independent PDF with full color management, live transparency, searchability, etc.
You state that the vital parts that are missing for CS5 is the option to choose the sheet size of the PDF and much more precise management of the colours and DPI/LPI. Sorry, but that doesn't make sense at all.
Regardless of the “page size” chosen for your InDesign document, you can effectively choose a different (larger, but not smaller, obviously) page size for the exported PDF by judicious use of the bleed and slug areas either as defined originally for the document or as overrides at PDF export.
In terms of color management, PDF export fully supports ICC color management and by selecting appropriate export joboptions (such as PDF/X-4), you can fully manage all colors (RGB, CMYK, LAB, and spot colors) through the rest of your workflow.
I am not quite sure what you mean by precise management of DPI/LPI, but neither for composite PostScript (which is what you would distill to get a composite color PDF file) nor for PDF export does InDesign support direct specification of screening parameters (what I assume you mean for DPI/LPI). If you print separations directly from InDesign to a PostScript device, yes, the InDesign Output Print dialog allows you to specify generic (not on an image by image basis) frequency and angle for each of the separations which results as setpagedevice parameters in the PostScript file (and subsequently ignored by the Distiller). And if in fact you are creating pre-separated PDF, you are really using a non-supported, strongly not-recommended workflow.
Assuming that you are using a composite color PDF workflow, separation colorant line frequency and angles is normally handled automatically by any modern-day RIP. If you are sending your PDF files directly to a RIP, this separation colorant line frequency and angle information is normally either set via JDF commands or via the RIP's operator console and/or job submission system and is not somehow extracted from the PDF file itself. Many RIPs totally ignore such information, especially if they use FM or proprietary screening techniques.

Please bring back an option to Add Scroll Arrows!?

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion - has removed scrollbars and changed the direction of scrolling to better align with iphones, ipads, etc. Thankfully, there are options to go back to behavior similar to classic scrolling behavior, with one important exception. Unfortunately, scroll arrows are now completely gone. OUCH !
Through preferences one can make scrollbars be presented. Behavior can be based on the type of device being used, or scrollbars can be displayed all the time. I choose to display scrollbars all the time.
Through preferences one can make the scrolling direction go back to what one expects if one used Mac OS X versions prior to 10.7 Lion. When I'm scrolling content on my MacBook Pro, I'm either using devices that are not "embedded" in the display (the trackpad or the mouse). When others do scrolling say on an iPad, where the scrolling is directly on the screen, I get it that the direction is different. But don't change up and down so it will match a phone or tablet when I'm on a device where I'm doing indirect manipulation of window content.
To the core complaint... Scroll Arrows are Gone: I cannot get scroll arrows any more. Take a look at Mail or Safari. This is especially needed in Mail. I get lots of mail. I want to be able to scroll up and down by pages (yes there is another preference for this) using the scroll region. I can do that. But I also want to be able to scroll the window (say preview window, or mail message content window) by one line at a time. However, there is no option that I can find. Maybe I want to see the whole paragraph at the same time. Maybe I want to see a code fragment of 5-10 lines all at one time.
Some might say we should just use the up and down keys on the keyboard. I would like to do that. However, with Mail, Apple still has not provided the ability to move from message to message in the preview pane without MARKING THE MESSAGE AS READ ! Most email messages (like this one :-) are too long at least for quick browsing. When I use the up/down arrow to go from message 42 to message 49, then 42 thru 49 are marked as read, even though I can do this in a second or so with seven down-arrow presses. Certainly I can't read 7 real-life emails in a second. See below for a post two years ago requesting this feature which many Mail programs have, but which has never been added to Mac's Mail app:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1988930?start=15&tstart=0
    Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane
    ...Similar discussions occurred on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. Here we are on 10.7, but this request has been ignored...
Please bring back some method for turning on scroll arrows again! And yes, give the option for controlling whether they're stacked at bottom of scroll region, or for using the more common model of up arrow at top of region and down arrow at bottom.
Sadly, this is also a core behavior of Mac OS X 10.7. I have Chrome installed. It does not allow scroll arrows either.
So, Apple... Accept that you went too far. Bring back options to turn on scroll arrows.
...and go back and review that mail preview behavior too, while you're at it.
Thanks,
Alan Carwile

Alan,
while the two finger scrolling is a sometime substitute for scroll arrows it is completely inadequate as a full time solution. It is useless in programs like excel that can have multiple split screens and only scrolls in one at at time and there is no reliable way that doesn't affect other operations to tell the program what screen you want to scroll in. With scroll arrows I got arrows for each window when I split the screen. It is typical of apple's (and steve jobs) hubris that they would eliminate these. It's fine if you think it is more sleek efficient use of the screen not to have scroll bars, but why recognize the need for scroll bars and allow us to turn them on and not scroll arrows?.
Forgetting the split screen problem, on the large databases I have with 10s of thousands of records anything other than scroll arrows is unpredictable because the scrolling speed is dictated by the size of the database and the sideways scrolling with the track pad is clumsy.
The lack of compatability in Lion whether with programs or user interface speaks poorly of Apple and it is the first time in a long time I've thought I might be headed back to the dark side.
And I think they do this on purpose, to make people bend to their paradigm -- see Job's refusal for the longest time to let keyboards connect to the iphone.
And, I know I'm not speaking to apple here, I'm speaking to Apple users. Apple doesn't seem to care or think it can do any wrong and has had that attitude for a long time.

Bring back click wheel games

would like to start a petition for apple to bring back click wheel games, if I had of realised they no longer had the games then I wouldn't have brought the classic but classics rock lots of storage and long battery life, also the games were pretty cool, BRING BACK CLICK WHEEL GAMES, I did have a collection of games on my old ipod but have got a new computer and I'm guessing there is no way to get them back, if not on itunes store then just put them on pirate bay for us

That's a long shot... And those games are owned by their developers/publishers, so Apple can't give them away for free, even if Apple wanted to "put them on pirate bay."
If you have a backup of your iTunes data from your old computer, you can find the game files in the iTunes Media folder, in the iPod Games sub-folder. You can put the files at the same location in on your current computer's iTunes Media folder, and they should be available for syncing in iTunes.
The only "click wheel game" I bought was Spore Origins, and it was pretty good. I can still sync it to my 5th gen iPod nano and play it. However, games are MUCH better (and more numerous) on an iPod touch, and they often cost less (or are free); that's the future of "iPod games."

Bring back Jon Briggs for Siri

Dear apple,
This a petition to bring back Jon Briggs as the UK voice of Siri.
I found his voice to be very clear and more natural sounding in iOS 7.0.6 than the voices that has been selected for IOS 7.1, yet you keep his voice for speak selection.
Please bring back the voice of UK Siri back the way your customers want.
Thank you, David Podd.

Configuring AAA New-Model brings back old config.

We are assuming responsibility for a set of network gear from a vendor that developed an app for us. They had all the gear authenticate against their radius server. My task today is to remove that config, and point to our ACS servers using tacacs. I thought this would be an easy copy and paste, but when I put in our standard aaa new-model config, it appears like their config involving radius parameters, comes back into play. I have ended up being unable to access these devices, getting 'Authorization Failed' after putting in my user credentials and password. Any suggestions on this would be a big help!

This has occurred on various platforms, but one example is the 2821 router with c2800nm-ipbasek9-mz.124-22.T1.bin.
Here is an example of what is happening:
Beginning Config:
testsw#sh run | inc radius
aaa authentication login default group radius enable
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius none
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network system start-stop group radius
aaa accounting connection default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
radius-server host 10.57.132.21 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server timeout 1
radius-server key 7 0716376F6B0A0A200F2A2F5420240E171A39170A3E03355352
When I issue 'no aaa new-model', the radius server configs disappear:
testsw(config)#no aaa new-model
testsw(config)#
testsw(config)#do sh run | inc radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
testsw(config)#
When I re-apply just the 'aaa new-model' command:
testsw(config)#do sh run | begin aaa new-model
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group radius enable
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius none
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting session-duration ntp-adjusted
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network system start-stop group radius
aaa accounting connection default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius
aaa session-id common
testsw(config)#do sh run | inc radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
radius-server host 10.57.132.21 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server timeout 1
radius-server key 7 0716376F6B0A0A200F2A2F5420240E171A39170A3E03355352
So, just putting back the aaa new-model command, by itself, brings back all the former aaa new-model commands, and the radius server commands. We run tacacs to a pair of ACS servers for all our other stuff, so maybe this behaviour is unique to radius...not really sure. Anyway, the process of changing has hosed up three devices requiring a reload, and one that I dorked up bad enough to have to rebuild the device config!

Bring back Amply/Fade and other comments

Hi,
Please bring back Amplify/Fade.
Here is my workflow:
When I record concerts (I frequently combine audio with video, but this is not necessarily the case), I need to cut audio CDs. After cleaning up the audio files and applying affects (EQ, etc.), I use track markers to delineate where song tracks begin and end. I then use Amply/Fade with the Fade Out option on small sections where the song ends. Of course, if the beginning of the song has a beginning that is abrupt to the point of being jarring, I can use a Fade In option. After fades have been applied, I switch to CD mode and burn the selected tracks to CD. One of the great things about Amply/Fade is that one gets consistent results every time. Drag fading (available for the beginning and end of clips) might be "fun", but I regard it as more difficult to apply consistent results.
The fact that the CD burn functionality is missing from CS 5.5 really restricts my ability to give CS 5.5 a fair audition. I think that CS 5.5 sounds better than AA 3 (and this is really important to me if this attribute carries through to the finished product), but the final proof is in listening to the finished product. Yeah, I can burn in AA 3 or by using some other product, but I have doubts as to whether I revert to AA 3 for burning, I am losing the improved sound qualities)..
Back to Amply/Fade...I accept, to some degree, the need to release this rewritten product without all of its previous functionality. So, part of my evaluation process was to see how well CS 5.5 records and if its effects were not sufficient for me, to use it as a shell for third-party VST plugin effects. My reasoning is that, possibly, it would be more productive and might be somewhat cost effective to stay with Audition than switch to another DAW. While Ozone 4 appears to work with CS 5.5 (it shows, although I have yet to test it), some other VST plugins erroneously are disabled.
Suggestions:
If possible, publish a roadmap for your customers, in terms of what features you plan to reintroduce and when they should reappear. I realize that I risk sounding arrogant with a request like this, but at least for me, 12 to 18 months waiting for a "maybe" is just too much. It would be good if interim releases could restore at least some missing functionality before CS 6. Also, before the release of CS 6 (maybe this was done for CS 5.5), evaluate the product in terms of beta user reaction to the feature set.
Final thoughts:
It would be good if you could post a compelling features list. I have roughly 27 or 28 days left on my trial. It's obvious that many useful features are missing. Rather than spending the remaining time puzzling over missing features, I would prefer to spend my time gushing over how CS 5.5 would be a great addition to my tools. Yes, the performance seems a little faster and it plays nicer with my current audio interface, but from the point of testing basic features, the speed doesn't matter. And, in the end, it's quality of results and ability to adopt an easy workflow that matters. The non-modal dialog design is welcome. In itself, however, it's not enough.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi RY,
I can't explain why, but it sounds more "open" or more "spacious". This is just a matter of wild speculation, but the best way I can guess at what's going on is that it might sound like there is an EQ boost at some point in the spectrum without having to add one. I have not tried every possible combination, but for an audio clip recorded with CS 5.5 at 192khz and then played back within both AA 3 and CS 5.5, I can detect a difference. And, while I have a decent audio interface, I think that my audio monitors would generally be considered to be insufficient for mastering purposes. Perhaps someone else can weigh in (possibly from Adobe) and tell me that I am imagining things, but Durin has, in an earlier posting, said that CS 5.5 should sound as good or better.

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.<br />
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab.<br />
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />

Hi richmc. I will only deal with the last part of your message.
You say that you want to use Outlook 2007 to collect your mail. That is not a problem, it is just an email client. BT do not supply this email client. Microsoft do.
You cannot expect BT to be able to assist customers with all the different email clients available to use. You can get the server details etc to set it up yourself.
Most ISP's are the same on support issues for things that they do not supply.
BT do have a paid support service if you did want to use it but for things like email setup it should not be needed.
You also say that you have your own domain names. These NEED to be hosted somewhere to be able to use them for email.
I don't believe that BT do hosting anymore(Could be wrong). So you would need to get in touch with a hosting company, someone like Nethosting, 1&1, GoDaddy etc to set up an email hosting account and then set up your email client to your hosting companies email servers.

Syncing a moved folder is not bringing back all the photos to Lightroom

I have moved and renamed a folder in the external harddrive. Syncing that moved folder in lightroom is not working in bringing back all the photos to Lightroom - Although all the photos exist in that folder as I have confirmed through windows explorer.
Another Option: If I choose "import photos to this folder option" in LR and browse to the source to that folder - the missing photos are shown as shaded back and the import button (bottom right corner) is not highlighted. Therefore I cannot select these missing photos and hence cannot import them to the folder.
PLEASE ADVISE!

In the Folders Panel, the original folder should be listed with a "?" mark, because Lightroom can no longer find it. Right-click on it, select "Find Missing Folder", then browse to and select the renamed folder in its new location.
Note....these type of problems will continue to happen if you continue to rename and/or move folders or files outside of Lightroom. Do it using Lightroom and no such problems will arise.

Bring Back the Apple MB869LL/A (A1242) Wired Compact USB Keyboard

I know Wireless and Bluetooth are great technologies! I know Apple makes it relatively easy to change batteries in their devices (magic mice and keyboards)!
However, I am running a few elementary school computer labs where we have many iMac computers and limited space.
One of my major obstacles from keeping these computers reliably operational is keeping keyboards alive with fresh batteries (We have wired mice). Also, since table space is limited, the standard FULL SIZE keyboards (with the numerical 10-key) takes space away from the mouse. A 10-key at this elementary school age level is really unnecessary.
It would be ideal if Apple could bring back their older version of the Aluminum Keyboard that was compact AND USB wired! The old model number was MB869LL/A (A1242).
These options are all that is currently available and neither is ideal:
FULL SIZED Wired Keyboard (that is too wide and the 10-key is unncessary): Wired Aluminum Keyboard MB110LL/B USB with Numeric Keypad
COMPACT Wireless Keyboard (that changing the batteries is too time consuming when you have 100's of computers in a lab to deal with):
Wireless Aluminum Keyboard A1314 Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, MC184LL/B
Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in).
Anyone else support this efffort, please chime in (or offer alternate solutions or compatible hardware).
Thanks,
Elementary School Challenged!

"Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in)."
Depending on your budget, you can find just about anything you want if you check the internet for computer peripherals. The biggest problem with the keyboard that you want would be its high price tag and finding a large (new-in-box) supply of them. I'm never surprised at the availability of keyboards that were never used with the computers that they shipped with. After Apple discontinued the ADB extended keyboards, I was still able to find new ones for my older fleet of beige G3s. As a less expensive alternative - but one that excludes your preference for brightness and volume controls - you may wish to consider a reasonably-priced, USB-wired keyboard for PCs, like the compact one shown at this eBay auction. A PC keyboard will work with a Mac, except for any programmable function/media keys that are part of the Windows software installed with the keyboard. One distinction between an Apple and a PC keyboard is the placement/juxtaposition of the two keys on either side of the space bar: The Windows logo key and the Alt key. When used with a Mac, the Windows key becomes the Apple Command key and the Alt key is the Option/Alt key. For your use, perhaps you could place a permanent sticker with the Apple "Command" symbol on the Windows key. In an elementary school lab, the stickers might be peeled off as soon as you've replaced them - which would be a nuisance.

Bring back iTunes syncing feature back!

I don't mean to be the stickler, but I cannot believe Apple decided to force us to use iCloud for syncing contacts. If i had known that upgrading to Maverick would have caused such, I would never have done so. I have a lot of personal and sensitive information on my iPhone. I don't want such information to be stored at any cloud platform. In fact, I prefer iPhone over Android phones for this feature (allowing users to decide whther they will use syncing via iTunes versus via iCloud). Now that feature is gone, I am in need of retracting back to the previou version of iTunes or Mountain Lion OS. Otherwise, I will need to start looking into if Android platform allows such. I want choices especially when sensitivie information is involved. How often do we hear about someone hacking into some corporate data hub? I don't want to risk.
Please bring back the feature to sync via iTunes!

Mike,
First of all, I am grateful for the message you posted. At least you cared enough to provide your input.
Secondly, I am not so concerned about losing data. Because, such data reside in my macbook pro, my ipad, my iphone, and my backup of the macbook pro hard drive. So, I am okay in that front.
As far as someone taking my devices, they are password protected with non-simple (not just 4 digits standard setting) password along with features such as "Erase Data" turned on for so many failed attempts.
Given, such I have to stand by my first request to Apple if they would reconsider giving back the feature. For my peace of mind...
Thanks again for your input.

Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
Observe:
[http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P
