How can I cue up multiple 'Back' commands without waiting for Firefox to load the previous page each time?
I press the 'back' button on my mouse (or the toolbar) twice, and Firefox will go back once and ignore the second click because it hasn't loaded the previous page. I'm sure it didn't use to work this way. Chromium doesn't work this way either, X clicks back = X steps back. I have no idea who'd find the current behaviour useful.
Semi-related: can I have 'New Tab' not appear in my Back button's drop-down menu/history? I want to open a new tab, click a top site and have it forget (from my perspective) that it was ever showing the 'New Tab' page.

Right-click the back button. You should see a list of where you were.
I'm aware of that feature, but it doesn't help with my problem.
Please explain.
In Chromium and IE and I think virtually every other browser made (including Firefox in the past I believe), I can press the Back button multiple times on the browser toolbar in quick succession, or I can do the same with a keyboard shortcut or the dedicated button on my mouse, and they will all register, taking me back that many pages. With Firefox, only the first is registered while it loads the previous page. Then I can do it again but it's only registered once, again, and so on. So a quick 'click-click-click' should take me back three places in the active tab's history. In Firefox, clicks after the first are ignored until it's gone back and loaded that page. Depending on what I've browsed (the size and complexity of the pages, I assume), this adds a second or five or ten for every step back. Click, wait, click, wait, click. It's inefficient and slow and frustrating.
