I always remove them and simply right click the back or forward button if I need the history. Allow us to remove the arrow drop down easily and keep the right click ability and I will love this even if you bring it to Linux. I still want to be able to switch back like Bielawski said though.

I think this would also be a lot clearer for the end user.

I think it's looks very nice, clean and the functionality seems that is will be clear and obvious. It's better than the version with the history in the middle, which I think was too cramped and cluttered (something that might have been fixable with more margin/padding). One problem could be that people think a drop menu is only available for forward navigation. However eventually they should be able to understand since the forward button is clearly inside what is attached to the back button.

Funnily, this looks more like IE7 except for the asymmetrical back/forward button sizes. But either way, combining the back/forward histories just makes sense since it's a separation of information that really should just be together.

I think the combined back/forward history is one of the things IE7 gets right, and it would be great in Firefox. Looks cool, can’t wait to see it in action.

I don't want a different look every time I reboot. All that’s OK if there’s an easy way to revert them to normal, sequential, rectangular buttons (like Fx3/GTK).

Doesn't make sense because they are also ugly. Why is Linux keeping those GTK old fashion navigation buttons? Doesn’t make sense because they are also ugly.
