However, i see something in one of the new tabs that makes me think, ok, i want to go back to where i came from to get to this page. Hence, it would be nice to have the ability to click on a "linked from" menu item and/or icon that would either take me to that tab or reopen that page in a new tab. Note that I do not keep files in my history for security reasons, plus it can take significant time to trace through a history anyway. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Bookmarklet (easier to install, works even if history is disabled) : http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/misc.html#go_to_referrer Extension (prettier button, knows the referrer from the first time you visited) : http://www.squarefree.com/extensions/high/

i agree, bug 23926 discusses the same feature that i am requesting. just curious, why is something useful and simple like this not included in the core code? the 'go to refferer' bookmarklet that Jesse points out (which btw does exactly what i want) is only one line of javascript.
