Where is the previous/next pages drop down list?

Beside the buttons to navigate forwards or backwards between pages visited there used to be a drop down list but this has disappeared.

This means that if I want to go back to a site I visted five pages ago I now need to press the back button five times.

This is inconvenient and can be a problem if one of those pages is interactive. On one occassion it has meant that I actually bought something twice because I re-submitted an order form content when trying to move backwards in single steps.

How can I get the drop down list back?

Right clicking on the arrow(s) should produce what you want. You can also hold a left click down for a couple of seconds. If you want the drop marker back, there is a new extension -

My forward/backwards arrows were greyed out so I couldn't use them - it was driving me mad! I found this reply about navigating and downloaded the add-on. Hey presto! it worked! brilliant! (and I found it all on my own too!) Thanks a million Alan!
