How'd I Get Here?

Use this extension to go to the page on which you first clicked a link to the current page. For example:

• Go "back" even after opening a link in a new tab and closing the original tab.
• Remember how you found a site you bookmarked yesterday.
• When you are sent a link you have already seen, astound the sender by responding with a statement more precise than "I saw that on some blog a few days ago".

Install

Install How'd I Get Here 0.1.2, which works in Firefox 1.5 through Firefox 2.

After installing, right-click a toolbar, select "Customize...", and drag the "How'd I Get Here?" button to your toolbar.

How'd I Get Here has not been ported to Firefox 3 Beta 4 because RESULTS_AS_FULL_VISIT has not been implemented for Firefox 3's new history system. See bug 320831 and bug 392844. I do not know whether it will be implemented in time for Firefox 3.
