where is the "prior ages" arrow?
I just upgraded from FF3 to FF4. In FF3, next to the "Go back one page" arrow, there was a small triangle pointing down. When I clicked it, I got a list of the last 8 (I think) pages I had visited in that tab.
In FF4 that triangle is gone. How do I get a clickable list of prior pages?

Sorry I was expecting a question not a suggestion. Yes, it would have helped if Mozilla had informed beta users and regular users with that information beforehand. This was actually stuck in near the end of the beta process, which I'm all for in that it never belonged there. Unfortunately we go from informed users to uninformed testers to see if things are "intuitive" which makes it difficult for people already using features in Firefox and other application. Prior experience is where real "intuitiveness" comes from not from test subjects without prior experience which is the main fallacies in Mozilla and Microsoft research, something that would be less likely to happen with IBM products where real research was performed on ergonomic use and patterns.

If you click and hold the back button on firefox (to the left of the URL bar) a dropdown of previous pages will appear
Does this help? :)
Use right-click to bring up the context menu for the Back/Forward button. The drop-down indicator was never needed and takes up space. See item #5 in the following article.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
Did you know that you can use the Ctrl+click on the Back/Forward button to open the previous/next page into another tab. Additional keyboard shortcuts

Both solutions work. I like dmcritchie's because the list appears immediately rather than after a wait.
Thanks a lot.
