Hello,

Few questions about OS X Lion i have on my new MacBook. My MacBook is a few months old and i decided to upgrade to OS X Lion.

Few things i don't like that hopefully there is a fix for.

In FireFox "My Personal Browser Choice" on the previous OS X, 3 finger swipes to the left would bring me to my previous browsing page, 3 finger swipe to the right would bring me back.

Now 3 finger swipe to the left brings me to the page with my Widgets on it. Any way to fix this?

Also i dont like the "all my files" in the finder. Its annoying and cluttered and i would never use it considering all my files are arranged and organized how i like them. Can this be removed?

I will admit the "air drop" feature seems cool however have not used it yet "not many friends with macs" :]

FF needs to be updated to work with Lion's gestures, it's a FF problem. You could always try Safari 5.1 or the latest dev version of Chrome.

You can modify the default gestures in Lion, or verify what they all are under your Trackpad/Mouse preferences in System Preferences. There you can turn them on or off and modify them to your liking.

You can configure your Finder sidebar in the Finder preferences.
