Is there a way to get back the tab-specific drop down history button on Firefox 4?

Recently updated to Firefox version 4.0.1 and noticed the drop down history button was missing from beside the back/forward buttons. It was easier to use it then click the back button 20 times when you have multiple pages/tabs up. Is there a way to get the button back without reverting to an earlier version of Firefox?

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.

Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored.
