Is there a way to set up Firefox that allows you to go back to a previously visited domain? Let's say you found a link on reddit to Boston.com's Big Picture blog. You go through 20 pages of pictures. You don't want to click back through all of them. You just want a one click back button that lets you go straight back to reddit.com. Maybe through some Firefox add-on?

Knowing that I'll just end up going back to where I started, I just middle-click to open that first link in a new tab. That's not to suggest that some people wouldn't find it useful to be able to navigate back to the most recent change in base level domain. (Or, perhaps, by configuration, to the most recent change in full domain name.) To clarify, based on the comments below, I posted this answer which doesn't directly answer @Jack's question because in my experience there are lots of people who don't know how easy it is to open links in a new tab (for example, recent convertees from IE6). That, for me at least, precludes the need for this extension. I try to follow the mantra of less is more, so when I can use existing functionality to solve my problem I prefer that over adding more extensions to Firefox. | |||||||||||||

Another alternative could be to use the CoolPreviews extension that opens links in a popup window. | |||

I've used and loved Rewind/Fastforward Buttons for years for exactly this purpose. It occasionally conflicts with another add-on after a FireFox version upgrade, though, so I currently have it disabled. But it's a great extension! Edit: I just re-enabled it -- thanks for the reminder! | ||||
