Hardy - changed Removable Drives and Media tabs?

Did a clean install of 32 bit Hardy to my Dell laptop and my wife's
eee PC, no real problems. However, it seems that the Removable Drives
and Media GUI is missing settings for "automount USB dives" and also
settings for my iPod and audio CD - whenever I plug in my 300 GB USB
drive it automatically mounts it (which is fine) but then Nautilus
opens and tries to list all 300 GB worth of music. I used to be able
to turn this annoying feature off, but it seems to be no longer there.
The same with my iPod - I run it from Amarok, but the minute I plug it
in up pops Music Player, and I can't find the tab where I used to turn
that off. This also happens with audio CD's - I only mount them once
to rip them with GRIP, but when I put in a CD it automatically starts
up the self-same Music Player.

Did I miss something? Were these moved elsewhere and I just haven't
stumpbled on them? These aren't showstopper's, just minor annoyances.
A real showstopper to me was the inclusion of Firefox beta 3, which
doesn't support Fox marks and many other addons that I use, Luckily I
was able to uninstall it and go back to my trusty old FF 2.


Cheers
