How do I go back more than one page at a time?

Surfing sites like eBay, I often traverse through several pages of a search. When I'm done. I'd like to be able to "Go Back" to the page where I started. It may be several pages back and using the "Go Back" button is cumbersome when I need to go back multiple pages. I hate to say it, but IE has an arrow key next to the "Go Back" and "Go Forward" buttons that provides a drop down list of the last X number of pages visited. This feature allows me to "Go Back" to the page I want with one click. I really want to migrate to Firefox, but this issue is a real pain for me when browsing. Is there a feature in Firefox that will allow me to do this easily?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Cool! I knew it had to be something simple like that. Thanks TonyE!
