I've lost my drop down menu for my back and forward buttons. I use them constantly. How do I add this or is that option gone for good?

There used to be a drop down menu along side the forward and back buttons so you could skip several pages in between. I couldn't find that as an option to customize that feature back is that option no longer available?

Right-click on either button. :3

Hi Emclatchy, In Firefox 4 you should be able to get the history drop-down menu by left-clicking on the back button or the forward button and holding the mouse button down for a few seconds.

Or, you can try installing this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

I haven't tried it myself but it is supposed to add the history drop-down indicator back to Firefox 4, same as it was in previous versions.

Hope that helps, --Jono Xia, Mozilla
