Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)

The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.

The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows", to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".

You can make Firefox 5.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0.1, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6.*). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.

Thanks, the right mouse click was what I wanted.

The rest - no big deal, already rearranged to how I want to view it.

While I'm thinking of it - do you have a recommendation for a replacement for Skipper? I don't want to put my info on the cloud, prefer it to reside on my hard drive as I don't switch around between hardware.

Thanks.
