Not so shure if 1.03 removes this, doubt (I'm using b13 dev).

Since Hijack doesn't work with 1.03, then it certainly would remove it (since you would have to remove hijack to run 1.03).

This happens to be my very first post, so be gentle

Your first post was well-informed and came with good preparatory research.

As I said in my reply to Mark, you can work around this temporarily by using the Bookmarks menu. The option is called "Mark track for attention".
