<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1050/" title="(Mozilla Addons)">Back/Forward Dropdown Menus</a> is another little CSS hack created <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1041/comments/">by request of BobFox</a>. It removes the main Back and Forward buttons and styles their dropdown arrows to look like them. The net effect is that clicking the Back or Forward button shows a history list rather than navigating immediately. </p>

It's not a good idea to use this extension with <a href="/dropdownremover">Back/Forward Dropdown Remover</a>; combined, they <span title="Damn cool word.">annihilate</span> all of the buttons' useful parts. </p>
<p>
Known issue in version 0.1: the buttons' tooltips still include <q>one page</q>. </p>
