Give this a try - what Safari should have had from the beginning!
Make it even better - and now Safari is my default again.

Glims Troubleshooting ReportTwo problems - Version: 1.0 beta 11, 12/16/2008 05:35PM PST

First of all, many thanks to the developers for this piece of software. I've found two problems:

1. Re: "Added: in bookmark bar - Action to add bookmark/folder here" - it adds the bookmark/folder even if you click on Cancel.

2. If you choose "Full Screen" you can then choose "Normal Screen" but if you choose "Max Window Size" you cannot later choose "Normal Window Size". iMac Intel 10.4.11
