where is the option to see a drop down of past pages visited and go to one of those, instead of having to repeatedly click the "back" button?

In other browsers, and previous versions of firefox, there was a drop down list of previously visited pages accessed by clicking a down arrow, where is this feature?.... without it, you are forced to repeatedly click "back"....and also some pages will not allow you to retreat, so to speak..so with the ability to go back more than one page at a time, you can get out of there.....where is that option, and why is it not there?

  • 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:
