Description Evandro Giovanini 2011-05-04 12:39:17 UTC 
The Epiphany toolbar uses separate buttons for Back/Forward and the navigation history. I'd like to suggest integrating navigation history in the Back/Forward buttons, with history being accessible by holding a mouse click on them.

This behaviour would be consistent with Nautilus 3.0, use less space and look nicer overall.
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2011-05-06 11:12:12 UTC 
It seems to me that the Nautilus back/forward button behavior is borrowed from Firefox but is not necessarily more discoverable than what we have currently. It certainly merits discussion, though.
Comment 2 Xan Lopez 2012-01-17 10:16:54 UTC 
We have lost the history dropdowns now, so I think this is a good idea. It's certainly less discoverable (I had no idea firefox did this!) though, so I guess it will remain a power user feature for those that know it exists. Or for those that read the manual...
Comment 3 Adam Dingle 2012-03-31 16:51:49 UTC 
Note that Nautilus displays the history menu either when you press and hold the back button or (more quickly) when you right click on the button.  I think it would be useful and consistent to have both of these behaviors in Epiphany as well.

Diego opened a new bug for his patch and we have been discussing it there, so closing this as duplicate.
