Where's the button which shows the browsing history of the current session?

more options

On previous versions there was right next to the back button a small down-upwards pointing button which opened the whole browsing history of the current session. It was helpful to pick the page (site) you needed in an instant instead of going through all pages back in a tedious manner. What's up with this new Firefox version? It has serious issues,for Christ's sake...!

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker
