31404 - [RFE] back button drop down in default ui

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 8241

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[thekingpenguin]

I think someone needs to design a drop-down menu for the back button (it may
need to be a separate small button next to it) similar to that of Netscape 4.X
and MSIE 4.X-5.0.  From my limited knowledge of JavaScript, this seems possible
(to me).  It would be a great feature for either websites that use long trails
of links or for websites that redirect you to another site in 0 seconds,
destroying the functionality of a back button.  I don't know any XUL, so I won't
be able to do this myself yet.  Also, when Mozilla becomes Netscape 5.0, many
end-users may become disgruntled that a feature they like in Netscape 4.X is
"downgraded."

I'm confirming this bug, because it is a resonable Request for Enhancement. 
I've changed the component to what i think is more appropiate.
