Under the 1.0.x versions of Firefox -- if I remember correctly -- there was ONE list of sites that could be navigated using the Back button, ONE list for the Forward button, and ONE list for the Address Bar dropdown. Under 1.5, each Tab maintains its own list! So if you've been to a few sites, then created a new Tab, then navigate to that new Tab, the new Tab has no sites to go back to! Even if I'm wrong, and this functionality has carried over from 1.0.x, that seems like poor functionality to me. I'd like to see the Back and Forward buttons and the Address Bar maintain a SINGLE list of sites that apply across all Tabs.
