No drop-down menu for previously viewed pages

FF4 (RC1) seems to have removed the drop-down menu next to the back-page (left arrow) button on the main toolbar. This means it's no longer possible to see all the pages previously viewed on that tab and then select one several pages back; one can only go back one page at a time. This is actually more than a slight inconvenience because some websites trap you and going back one step isn't enough to restore the previous page.

Click-hold on the Unified back/forward button or right-click it and you should get a context menu of your back/forward history.

Oh thank you! I wouldn't have figured this out.
