Firefox 3 – Back Button UI Annoyance

First of all this blog is thanks to Anders from http://www.andersramsay.com

I installed FireFox 3 and it was driving me nuts, there seemed to be no back button to go back several pages at once. So at first I was clicking and clicking until I was on the verge of going back to an older FireFox version. I did a quick google search after figuring out I couldn’t be the only one annoyed at this, it was then that I found anders website.

These snap shots are also taken from Anders website:

As you see in Firefox there is only one drop down next to the back and forward buttons, which implied to me that you could only go forward.

However as pointed out by Anders, this drop down allows you to back and forwards. It shows you which point you are at with the black dot next to the one your currently veiwing:

Personally I think this should be between the back and next buttons, but now I know it’s there I’m happy.

There are still a couple of other annoyances though, but on a whole I’m now happier with FireFox 3.

So once again, thanks Anders.
