FF3 used to have a backup button that I could jump backwards several pages. Is there a way in FF4 for this?

There is a backup button in FF4 that is larger than the round one in FF3. But to the right of the forward button there used to be a dropdown that would list the last dozen pages. Can this function be enabled in FF4 or do I need to look for a plug-in to do this. I can't believe they took it out.

Chosen solution

Right click the Back / Forward buttons to get a list of sites previously visited.

You can also install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

You can also use the location bar to search history, bookmarks etc. See Search using the Awesome bar(The Awesome bar is the same as the location bar where you normally type in a web address).
