What happend to the per tab history button?

more options

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and noticed the per-tab history button which if you clicked on it would list all the sites that had been visited in that individual tab and would allow you to quickly select a site and go back to it has been removed! It was on the left of the tab bar just to the left of the "<" button and it looked like how the current "List all tabs" button looks. This feature was SO useful, now if I want to go and see all the sites I visited in a tab historically I must keep clicking the back arrow button which is much less efficient. Developers PLEASE ADD THIS BACK!!!

Chosen solution

Click-hold or right-click the Unified Back / Forward button to see the "history" in that tab. Or, you can install this extension which restores the drop-marker arrow.
