The HISTORY pulldown menu seems to missing its topmost choices: Forward, Backward, History.

Now it begins with Show all history, etc.

How do I restore the original (as at top)?

Thank you.

Some entries in the View and History menu have been removed to clean up the user interface because studies showed that these were low usage items (Bugs 519937,513168,896918; please do not comment in bugs).
On Windows and Linux these were already hidden when you used to mouse to access the menu bar and only appeared when you used the keyboard.

You can click the toolbar Home button (far right on Navigation Toolbar) or use the keyboard (Alt/Option + Home).
You can find Back, Forward, and Reload in the right-click context menu in the browsing area or use the buttons on the Navigation Toolbar.
