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?

Chosen solution

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.)
