In Firefox 4 the dropdown menu next to the forward button in the Navigation Toolbar that allowed the user to select another page in the history to go back to is gone. Why?
In Firefox 3, the user could access a dropdown menu by hovering over a small black arrow next to the forward arrow in the Navigation Toolbar. This allowed the user to go to earlier pages in the browser history, rather than using the back button to go to the immediate previous page.
After updating to Firefox 4, this menu disappeared. Was it moved? Was it removed?
I found this feature to be very useful. Why was it changed?

There are two ways to get this: (1) Hold the back button until the menu appears (2) Right click the back button. See the screenshot below for reference.
Whew...glad it's in there. Still, that was NOT intuitive to me. I would not have figured that out without a LOT of trial-and-error...
Does not work for me. The 2 buttons (arrows) always have the same shape, like on this picture.
@eFREAK THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I've been looking for. For those who that doesn't work for, perhaps you're not holding mouse pointer directly over the right or left arrow...
Is there any sort of add on or option that will give me back the drop down menu which I prefer? The new Firefox is too much like Explorer which I have to use at work. That back and forward drop down menu is, I think, one of the great advantages of Firefox. also the on page websearch has always been easier to use in FF and I'm not sure I even see how to do that anymore.
@sjberlin Yep, there's an addon for restoring the dropmarker. It's located here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
