Firefox used to have a small tab next to the go back one page that opened a drop down list of previous pages visited. Now I find I must double click back one page and hold the curser there to open the same drop down list. Is there any way to get the small tab back?

There may be a theme or extension coming that has that lost feature but I'm not aware of one that has right now.

You can use this 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 for your reply. I'm curious why Mozilla would remove a convenience feature and replace it with something more complicated? I use FF exclusively and some features create a strong user loyalty. Why aren't basic (standard) features which have proven their worth carried over from version to version?
