How do I skip back to a previous page I've visited instead of hitting the Back button repeatedly? tks
In the prev version of Mozilla, I could click a down arrow by the Back button to expose a list of pages I had visited. To jump back to a certain page, I could just click on it in the list. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do this with the new interface and, instead, am clicking the Back button repeatedly. I know that it must be a really easy thing, but I cannot figure it out. :( Please straighten me out.
Thanks!

You can do one of the following:
- right-click the Back/Forward button to show the drop-down list
- while on the Back/Forward button, left-click and hold until the drop-down list appears
- add this add-on to add the drop-down marker to the Back/Forward button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
You need to update the following:
- Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5
- Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_23 for Mozilla browsers (version 1.6.0_25 is available for download, but will not update through manual update yet)
- Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- There are plugin specific testing links available from this page:
- Update Shockwave for Director
- NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
- Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
- When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
- locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
- Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.

- Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

- Be sure to un-check the Yahoo Toolbar option during the install if you do not want it installed.
