What happened to the button on the address bar that let you see the pages you had been to so that you didn't have to repeatedly click the back button? I use that all the time and it is not on FF4.

What happened to the button on the left end of the address bar that let you see the pages you had been to so that you didn't have to repeatedly click the back button? You could look at the drop down window list of pages and just pick the one you wanted. I use that all the time and it is not on FF4. I want to go back to the old FF.

If you right-click on your back button, or click and hold down the mouse button it will show the list. (I prefer right-clicking, because sometimes my fingers slip when I try to click and hold)

Thanks very much. So simple but it never occurred to me.

When using the back button I keep getting the drop down box when I do not want it. For me the hold down time before the box opens is far too short. I would be quite happy to always right click to get the drop down. Is there any way to disable this feature when using the left button or for making the delay longer?
