Well, this is like that in your case. In my case (and I guess, with other people, too), I have more than one bookmark in the bookmarks bar. I have a lot, actually. So there is no real space that you can count on being there, it really changes individually. Also, some people do not even have the bookmark bar at all - so are they destined not to have the case sensitive option because of that? :)
Oh and I forgot to mention. What I commented regarding the copy option in the bookmark context menu, was not to say it is needed - I just talked about platform parity there. I believe some API will be implemented for modifying the find bar and then extensions could take care of that, but that will not be anytime soon, I imagine. ☆PhistucK On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 09:54, 4Jonah <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi again > > I appreciate the reply.
