Firefox4. In Navigation Bar, I have Back-Forward arrows, but no drop down arrow which I had in Firefox 3x. How do I restore?

I really liked the drop down carrot/arrow that supplemented the back and forward buttons on the navigation bar. It allowed me to quickly see previously visited sites and jump directly back or forward without going one at a time. Hope I've explained this adequately. There's probably an easy answer, but I just haven't found it. Thanks.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking (or control-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
