Why does Firefox 4 not allow the 'drop-down' address-selections list when the arrow on the right of the "address-bar" (I am 76 years old and can only hope I am using ther correct phrase) is pressed. Earlier versions allowed this helpful feature but when I try to return to the earlier version I am warned about my site becoming vunerable to attack. I find it difficult to understand in my advanced age, why every new version of Firefox represents a step backwards.

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:

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

You can look at this extension:
