In the previous versions of Firefox, in any open tab that had multiple windows open, i. e. from a search where you would go to many different windows, there was a drop down selection to the right of the "back/forward" button that would let you select prior windows ... and always the first one. That is no longer there. It was extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can you add it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Well that was certainly easy ... thank you very much. I would never have figured it out; your quick answer is much appreciated.
