In 4.0, I can't find the button that allows me to go back to a page I was on faster than page by page.

All the documentation shows the pull-down menu next to the back button, but it doesn't appear in my windows 7 computers at home or work since I upgraded to Firefox 4. I am viewing all toolbars, and looked for icons to add but didn't find one. Thanks.

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
