Rather than start a new thread, I'll add a question to my own topic. Still in Safari... When I select Show All Bookmarks, I now get this "cover flow" band at the top of the window, which I think displays the most recent web pages I've visited. I suppose there must be a way to set the number limit, but I'm really looking for a way to disable that. I don't immediately see one.
immediately under the Cover Flow in the center, there are three little horizontal lines. double click, or grab them to resize the Cover Flow area.
I'm not a big fan of Top Sites, either. you can change that in the General tab of the Safari prefs.
