  My thoughts on this (long sought :) feature:
  
  1. Since Firefox et al were already referenced, you guys surely noticed that pushing on **either** back or forward gives you the same dropdown-menu there. Can we expect this behavior also with this patch? (Didn't saw it mentioned yet).
  2. Re. list size: Firefox has 15 list items. So if you want to go back 20 entries, you have to invoke the menu twice (going -14 and then -6). Which I think is a reasonable approach. Showing **all** history entries at once, can get ugly quiet fast with a long history.
  3. Re. action title: I would be ok with just the (top) folder name. If you go with the path, I would make sure that there is a character limit, otherwise the menu could look quite ugly for users with long paths.
  
  Below attached screenshot from firefox for reference:

  Also notice the page icon in front of the title, which upon hovering changes to either the forward or backward arrow.
