User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

The beta (4.0) version of Firefox does NOT keep the feature from Firefox 3.x which allows the user to go back to a previously visited page. I am talking about the arrow which exists in the 3.x version right next to the back button. When you press that arrow, you get a list of previously visited pages and you can go back to the page you visited 10 pages ago. This feature is ESSENTIAL because many webpages force you to stay on their page by not letting you go back simply by pressing the back button. 

Reproducible: Always

Works for Me on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110309 Firefox/4.0b13pre

*Note: As in Comment 1, right clicking the back arrow gives the same results as in Firefox 3.x (small arrow)

Thanks for the info. This functionality is not very obvious however. To make it more apparent, can you change the tooltips for the back and forward buttons as follows:

--Back button
Current: "Go back one page"
Suggested: "Go back one page; right click for more options"

--Forward button
Current: "Go forward one page"
Suggested: "Go forward one page; right click for more option"

typo: the last word should have been "options" not 'option'
