I use to be able to go back several sites by clicking on a down arrow next to the back button. Where's it gone in Firefox 4?

I realise you can click on history but if you have more than one tab open, it combines all these in the history sequence. The lack of this list of previously visited sites within the tab accessible by the down arrow is extemely frustrating. How can this be an improvement? If it's really gone, I want my firefox 3 back!

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:

  • Right click on the Back or Forward button
  • Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

You can look at this extension:

Thanks so much, I have installed the add on. I see from the comments there that I'm not the only one who thought its removal was a dumb idea!
