What happened to the menus attached to the forward and back buttons-like IE has? I can't choose where I want to go. And WORSE, I quite often get some message saying something must resend and I'm stuck on the same page forever. If the buttons aren't going to work-why have them? AND WHY NOT GIVE ME A MENU TO CHOOSE WHICH PAGE TO GO BACK TO. IE PROVIDES THIS FEATURE-WHY DON'T YOU? IF I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GO WHERE I WANT THEN I'M GOING BACK TO IE.

  • Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

You can look at this extension:
