How do I go back (or forward) multiple steps without having to navigate the History tree?

Internet Explorer has an arrow-down button (pull-down menu) next to the Back and Forward button which allows you to skip several steps back (or forward) in two clicks. How do I do that in Firefox? Navigating the History tree for this simple task is a lot more cumbersome.
