Now that the history dropdown marker in the navigation toolbar has been removed,the tab history functionality via the right-click\click back & hold options isn't well known among users neither easily discovered : a tooltip telling "click to go back,right click (or hold) to show history" or something similar should be displayed when hovering on the navigation arrows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to several URLs in the same tab
2.Try to recall a previously visited website
3.Find out there's no *apparent* way to do so if not clicking back one page at time
Actual Results:  
Apparently there is no way,without the dropdown widget,to scroll trough the tab history

Expected Results:  
An hint (tooltip) should now be given to inform the user about accessing the still present history dropdown menu
