It would be nice to have a preference to set the number of URL's that can be
displayed by the Back Button window, or it could be made unlimited with an arrow
at the bottom of the window. At present when you get into a site, like Web
Banking, a lot of pages are generated. Many more then the 15 now displayed by
the window. This causes a person to do multipe back selections to back out of
the site. With a preference a person could set this up to work any way they wanted.

Reproducible: Always
see Seamonkey bug 62010
We're not going to add random prefs for things like this, sorry.

I just realized after going to bug 62010 and then looking closer at Camino, that
Camino has already fixed this issue without adding a pref. The only thing that
FireFox has over Camino is it's extentions. If they pick them up. You might wind
up going the way of Mozilla.
No need to bash, adding a pref as you requested here isn't useful, better
behaviour, possibly along camino's solution, is a different story.
Mike,I happen to agree with you on this. In
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62010#c15
that was my original request. Should I open a new bug with the scrolling as a
request for FireFox?

PS  I'm sorry if I let some of the frustration I developed following bug 62010
spill over on to you.
A new bug is more appropriate, but it would absolutely have to wait on that type
of scrolling not sucking horribly.  The behaviour is buggy and there's issues
with focus, iirc.  Not a problem in Cocoa widgets, but our scrollbox sucks.
OK Mike I did. It's bug 282988  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282988
I realize that this might take some time to implement but at least there is a
chance that it might get looked at once in a while now.
