Cool, that's good news.

Haven't seen that myself. But you might want to set the storage choices 
carefully. Here's what I use:

Number 1, see this option in Preferences:



Number 2, there's an extension for that :-)

'Every morning when I wake,
  Dear Lord, a little prayer I make,
  O please do keep Thy lovely eye
  On all poor creatures born to die

  And every evening at sun-down
  I ask a blessing on the town,
  For whether we last the night or no
  I'm sure is always touch-and-go.

  We are not wholly bad or good
  Who live our lives under Milk Wood,
  And Thou, I know, wilt be the first
  To see our best side, not our worst.

  O let us see another day!
  Bless us all this night, I pray,
  And to the sun we all will bow
  And say, good-bye - but just for now!'
     - Dylan Thomas
