Similar to the back button. It seems bug 454880, which initially implemented this, did not implement this part of the feature (see bug 454880 comment 95).

Ian, can you confirm this is the expected behavior?

Yes, it is. Speaking of expected behaviour, we still need to do some theming to this feature, in bug 847435 :)

mcomella, is this a good mentor bug? Since we have the designs for bug 847435 done now, this should be easier.

Currently, we show the history list for long press on the back button and long press on the tablet back/forward buttons. This is done via [1]. You should add the same functionality to the 3-dot menu in the browser toolbar. The place to start looking to add code is BrowserApp.onOptionsItemSelected.

Hello, I'd like to take this bug with some mentoring. Thanks!

Sure thing, setting assignee

Hey again, Matt! Let me know if comment 4 does not have enough information to get you (and keep you!) going, or if you have any other questions!

Comment on attachment 8592200 [details] [diff] [review] Long press on navigation buttons (i.e. back/forward) in app menu should bring up history list Review of attachment 8592200 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nice work, Matt! try above.

Matt, if you'd like to work on something a bit more involved, perhaps bug 1105271 for some front-end tablet work or bug 1150983 for more back-end focused work.

Updated after failing tests on Android 4.0 API11+ opt

Comment on attachment 8593926 [details] [diff] [review] Long press on navigation buttons (i.e. back/forward) in app menu should bring up history list Looks like some tests failed for Android 4.0 API11+ opt, so I submitted an updated patch.

D: try below!

By the way, this latest patch needs to be rebased - do you mind taking care of that and reuploading the patch, Matt? Since you have an r+, you don't need to get another review.

Rebased patch

Patch updated, let me know I need to do anything else. Meanwhile I'll pick up another bug that you mentioned. Thanks so much for the help :mcomella!

Matt, it looks like there are some more try failures - do you mind taking a look?

Alright, another update submitted. Not sure how to see the next Try job (does it update automatically?)

(In reply to Matt King from comment #22) > Alright, another update submitted. Not sure how to see the next Try job > (does it update automatically?) It has to be manually submitted via version control. You can apply for try access (which I believe is level 1) at [1] if you'd like to make these pushes yourself. I'll vouch for you. :) Let me know - if you don't want access right now, I can make the push for you. Otherwise, I'll wait and let you do it yourself!

Thanks Michael! I applied for access here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157130 Let me know if you need anything else...

Vouched! Just waiting on the administrivia end...

Okay, looks like I have an LDAP account, but not sure what to do next...

Figured it out, another try: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=63ac5af4ee6b

Looks like a couple failed due to non-code reasons...I tried to retrigger but doesn't see to help.

(In reply to Matt King from comment #28) > Looks like a couple failed due to non-code reasons...I tried to retrigger > but doesn't see to help. It worked for me! The retriggers do not replace previous failed runs but add runs to the right of the failed run. For example, you'll see 5 rc3 runs (one failed) and 3 rc6 runs (one failed). Looks ready to check in!

Ah, I didn't notice that. Thanks for the explanation. I'll go ahead and check in.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) [Why is this notable]: Nice UI enhancement for users [Suggested wording]: Long press on back/forward navigation buttons in app menu brings up history list [Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:

Load gmail.com, facebook.com, instagram.com, google.com, amazon.com in the same tab. Open app's menu, tap the back button one time and then long tap the forward button => A pop-up with the recent history is displayed with the focus on the current tab (google.com) and "amazon.com" Open app's menu, tap once again the back button and long tap the forward button => the history list contains: the current tab (instagram.com), google.com and amazon.com. So, verified as fixed using: Device: Samsung S5 (Android 4.4.4) Build: Firefox for Android 40.0a2 (2015-05-27) and Firefox for Android 41.0a1 (2015-05-26)

No history on 54.0.1/OSX - maybe this needs to be reopened?

Hey cpohle – thanks for letting us know. This bug is for Firefox for Android but did you mean to file an issue on OS X (I'm guessing from from "54.0.1/OSX")? If so, please file a new issue or find an existing issue on OS X. Thanks!
