I have made my argument -- you are ignoring it. Revert the change back to its original function of "back in history". It has been there as long as I can remember.

Now that so called data loss isn't anything what you are trying to claim here. I have done that before and its called "opps damn" and I think I did that twice in the 2 years I have used Firefox. And second I have never seen that as a argument here at all, not even as a bug report. So try again.

Yes I am arrogant but I am right about it too.
