82952 - Back / Forward buttons need seperate tooltips for history lists

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 79240

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[James Green]

My mother has used Mozilla a few times now. Today, once again visiting her
favourite website which uses frames, she complained that hitting back was
getting her no-where.

I asked her why she wasn't using the Back button's history list. She had no-idea
what that was. I asked her to click on the Back button's drop-down arrow and
instead she clicked on the main back button icon, oblivious to the history arrow
on it's right-hand-edge.

We need to alter the tooltip for the drop-down history lists to read, "Click to
view past pages" and something similar for the forward button.

Also, when we hover over an item in the history list, we need a tooltip such as
"Click here to visit this page."

Right now it's not obvious functionality to barely computer-literate people. It
needs minor improvements.
