How do I go directly to a previously viewed web site.

Windows IE has a drop down arrow next to the forward and back button that allows you to go directly to a previously viewed site. I dont see that feature on firefox. How do I go directly to a previously viewed site? I am not talking about history. I am talking about a viewed site in the current session.

Thanks for your time, John Dimmett

Chosen solution

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.

Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored.
