What happened to the drop-down list of previous pages at the back button? I see it in "history" but that's slower to get to.

There used to be a drop-down list at the back button, and I think at the forward button, too, so that I could jump to a previous page without paging backward one at a time. Finding my history now and clicking on a page is a lot slower.

Chosen solution

Use one of these to open the tab history list:

  • Right click on the Back or Forward button
  • Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

Thank you! I did find that the instructions above are an either/or choice and not a series of steps. It's easy now that I know, just wasn't intuitive for me.
