Hi All, can anybody tell me where to find the little 'down arrow' next to the "back one page" browser icon (upper left of screen) that let you jump back several pages at once? Thanks

I used to be able to view (and click one of) the last 8 or 10 visited pages using a dropdown box activated by a 'down arrow' symbol between the 'browse forward and backward' icons in the top left of the screen if a webpage led me down a blind ally and I'd have to browse backward several pages to get back to my starting point. (Or more annoyingly wouldn't allow you to just go back), but with the new firefox vs I only seem able to browse backwards one page at a time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
