Restore the history dropdown arrow behind back button. Why was this removed? Why are such big changes done so late in the process?

Reproducible: Always

resons are in bug 582485, if you don't agree and you have interesting points that were not yet discussed there, you should open a discussion in mozilla.dev.usability, opening an anti-bug is not bringing anything more than noise.

incomplete since there are no reasons nor a linked discussion on the topic.

Terrible logic.  A feature removal was haphazardly removed for the logic of 
"other people do it this way"   Despite all indications that this is a heavily used feature it was removed for no reasoning.    The overhead to keep the feature far exceed the benefits of removing it.   

You closed this bug because the original bug sheet was itself improperly used.  Removing working functionality as a "bug" is flawed software development methodology.
