That arrow doesn't show the past 20 links visited when you first open a window. At least for me that arrow on the far right of the address bar only takes me back to the original page I opened when I opened the window.

said by MorWired :

In Firefox the address field has an arrow at the far right, clicking on that gives a pull-down of visited links. I believe that is what is being sought.

said by SeminoleRob :

(1)There isn't a pulldown arrow on the browser address to look at the places you have been. All 3 other browsers have it.

said by nccycle :

At least in my copy of Fire Fox I can't just open up a new window and press on an forward or back arrow and see the last 20 places I have visited. I have to go to the history menu on fire fox just like on Safari ( and on Fire fox I only see the last 10 sites I have been to vs Safari's last 5 days worth of history of where I have been.

What the hell is wrong with people? Did he think I wrote this

just to exercise my keyboard? Oh let me guess - he "skimmed" (translation: didn't read) it.

Press (and hold) not click - works fine for me.

Press means hold down the mouse button (a 1984 Mac term, one of {Click, Press, Double-Click}).

said by SeminoleRob :

Gee, I never would have figured out how to press a button

said by Johnny :

Press on the Back or Forward icons in the upper left corner. Press means hold down the mouse button (a 1984 Mac term, one of {Click, Press, Double-Click}).

Hey, it works on MY PC. What's wrong with yours?

said by lunarPlexus :

Not getting into my Safari bug hall of fame either.

said by bobrk :

It's not a common use case for me, but the one I tested was.

said by lunarPlexus :

I believe that was the original complaint, not the contorted scenario you manufactured.

said by bobrk :

Gack. Refresh, I didn't test that.

said by lunarPlexus :

If I follow a link (as you suggest) and then go back, then refresh returns to the correct spot. If I just go to the page and then scroll down (not travelling to another page), then refresh goes to top of page. Once the scroll point has been established, it always returns to that point on refresh, regardless of where I might scroll to before hitting refresh.

said by bobrk :

Are you waiting for the page to reload completely? I just tested it on one of my XP boxes, scrolling down one page, clicking a link and then returning, and after the page completely reloaded, it jumped down to where I was before.

said by lunarPlexus :

Works on my Mac; not on my PC.

We're really getting to the bottom of this one.

said by SeminoleRob :

I installed it last night. Pretty fast. Couple of issues

(1)There isn't a pulldown arrow on the browser address to look at the places you have been. All 3 other browsers have it.

said by bobrk :

Which is also how you do it on every other winders browser, amazingly enough.
