Why doesn't the back button have a dropdown to jump back multiple levels in Firefox 4? Is there an option to re-enable that?

Before I upgraded to Firefox 4, the back button (as it is in every other browser under the sun,) had a dropdown so you could skip one tier of going back and drop back multiple levels. This is especially important when there is a site redirecting you and you can't rewind past it with single Back clicks. However, FF4 doesn't have this -- at least not by default -- and I don't see it anywhere in the options to add it. Is it hiding somewhere I haven't found, or was that removed?

You have to either click and hold the back button or right click to access the drop down selection.
