How are you planning to implement this? I've voluntered to make menubuttons for mail. To test this I've created menubuttons for back and forward too. It updates the menus onmousedown from the appCore.SessionHistory. Maybe we should synchronize our solutions.
Although being the older bug, I think this is a duplicate of bug 16806. Please have a look there and mark as duplicate if appropriate.
I don't think these are duplicates at all. THis bug is about having drop down menus in the Back and Forward buttons, whereas the other is about rememberingthe Y- cordinate of the view when you go back to a page. Other than they both use session history they are differnet bugs. Radha is on sabbatical by the way in case anyone was wondering.

In case people are interested, there's an overlay that does this at http://www.mozillazine.org/chromezone/
*** Bug 35939 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is there any plans to add the overlay that's listed in Chromezone to the tree? I think having some sort of back/forward session history should be enabled by default in Mozilla as soon as possible. Although I'd really like to see session history implemented like in Netscape 4.x where you hold down the button for a few seconds to get the menu up. There should also be a little down arrow next to these buttons (as in 4.x and IE) so people know that these buttons can bring up a menu.
