how can i recall previous sites; unlike I.E. the down arrow on the address bar does not list all sites visited in order

on Internet Explorer, when I click the down arrow on the address bar, all the websites I have recently visited are shown, in order, most recent site being shown first. In Firefox, the down arrow click will show some, but not all sites. Also, is there a way to delete sites I don't want from the list shown when I click the down arrow? Thanks,
