Firstly sorry if someone else has already brought this up, I had a rummage around but couldn't find the exact same problem.

When opening a new tab or window, in Firefox 3.5, I don't have any history in in the drop down from the address bar, as I could in previous versions. If I do a little browsing in one window, and want to return to a previously visited site, there is no history there either. The history is in the History menu though. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but thought you should know. It would be handy to have.

thanks in advance, keep up all the lovely work,
ta
Joe
