277730 - Go menu has history from all tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247893

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Per Nystrom]

The Go menu used to show the last 10 links visited for each separate tab.  Now
it shows the history for all tabs, all glommed together.  I much prefer the old
way, since if I want a history for everything I can open the History tool to get
it (and it's much more comprehensive).

To give a better idea, consider this scenario:  I open two tabs, one for my
favorite news site, and another that's a very deep survey.  I go several pages
deep in the news site, then I switch over and start filling out the survey. 
After 10 pages of the survey, I switch back to the news site tab and I want to
backtrack up a few pages.  Unfortunately, the Go menu now has 10 links to the
survey, so I have to hit the back button repeatedly to get to where I wanted to
go in the news site.

That was by design (bug 169346)
