previous versions allowed me to go back mant web pages in one step. V4 only seems to allow going back one page at a time. Can I change this back to the earlier method?

The top left of previous Firefox versions had the left arrow key to go back to the previous web page and a button that would list all the previous web pages so that I could select, say, the 5th previous page. I can't find this button on Firefox 4. Is there a way to do this?

If you click and hold on the back button, the list drops down. The "dot" indicates where you currently are in the history.

(There might be a way to get the separate drop-list button back if you prefer that appearance, but I haven't researched it.)
