Some sites nowadays include a "breadcrumb trail". This trail consists in an ordered list of the last pages visited on the site. It allows a user to easily access previously visited pages, without having to trawl through the browser history.

The Firefox "Go" menu seems to provide similar functionality, though it seems to contain elements from all previously visited sites, rather than elements only from the current site.

I was wondering if it could be possible to reproduce the functionality of a  "breadcrumb trail" for all websites. This could perhaps be accomplished, for example, by grouping the last visited pages of the current website at the top of the Go menu, above a separator.

I'm sorry if I have not properly grasped the way the "Go" menu works, or have committed some other inane stupidity.

Love, Karderio.

Interesting as an extension, but probably not useful to enough people to include in the core.
