You've indicated a preference for '''[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts keyboard shortcuts]'''. There is no keyboard shortcut to go back a known or unknown number of pages within the same tab without using BACK, BACK, BACK ("Alt+left-arrow" {"command+left-arrow"}). There are a couple of exceptions to this.
'''Suppose NYT is your home page''' and you want to throw away everything in the tab with Ctrl+W {command+W} (was close the window but with tabs that is now close the Tab). So you do that and then you want to reopen your home page use "Alt+Home" {"Option+Home"}.
Another way of doing but without NYT being your home page, would be to make a bookmark with a '''[http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcut]''' such as "NYT:" or "NYT". So you would do exactly the same time as before but instead of bringing up your home page use the keyword shortcut to bring your NYT page. I recommend "'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/ Add Bookmark Here ²]'''" extension (60.4 KB) for working with keyword shortcuts and its additional bookmarking features ([http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/addbookmarkhere2.txt additional documentation]).
If you change your method of browsing to try to keep Tabs with only one level in them then you can use keyboard shortcuts to close each tab after reading it. There are two main methods of reading reading articles. Say we start with a bunch of blogs in a bookmark folder and open that folder into tabs as a starting point.
'''One method''' is to read the main blogs '''without interruption''' except to open links in the background at the far right end of the tabs bar for later viewing (Firefox 2 method). Closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
'''The other is to keep interrupting what you are reading''', by opening into a new tab in the foreground and reading that before continuing where you left off (Firefox 3). As with the other method, closing articles when finished and you can check the Back/Forward arrows to be sure you have nothing back or forward in a tab before closing it.
You can read about setting up opening tabs at the far right as in Firefox 2, or opening tabs next to the parent article as in Firefox 3. The Firefox 3 method is going to present problems no matter how you work it, when dealing with sub articles next to the parent or to that of an offspring.
You can read more about opening tabs and [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tab_capacity/001_with_underscore.htm#taborder Order of Tabs in Tabs Bar -- Tests].
Just want to make sure this question was not based on there being no drop-down on the Back/Forward toolbar buttons -- you now use right-click to provide you with the same list as before old stuff on button, new stuff on top (limit of seeing 15 items in list at a time).
You can make '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
