How do I use the back button to go back more than 1 step?

In previous versions of Firefox and common in other browsers is a small pull-down option on the back button that will allow the user to go back more than 1 step in browsing history.

Typically, the pulldown will show a chronological list of recent sites visited and the user could select one. Firefox 4 seems to have dropped that feature and you can only click it to go back 1 step at a time. I really miss that feature.

Is there a way to enable or add on the ability to go back more than one without having to go to history?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker
