	Well, change for the sake of change implies that it was showing up in the bottom before.. and it never did.. :-)

	I do tend to agree that it is confusing when the text field changes to reflect the link under the mouse.. I like the idea of having the little descriptive tag pop up by the mouse though..

	Having a status bar at the bottom of the window wouldn't be all that bad though.. then the popping up window for the progress would be constantly visible.

	As far as the status line/scriptable thing.. good ridance..

	Nah... you're doing it wrong..

	Put all your bookmarks in a single Favorites folder called Bookmarks.. then you can get them with a single click and drag.  Or, click on the booksmarks Icon and then select them from the drawer.

	Sort of.. you have to click, pause without moving the mouse...

	Isn't this how it works now, with the exception that you can double click on the lightning bolt to open a new window?
