Firefox extension allows for Safari-like snapback
Apple's Safari web browser has a fantastic feature called SnapBack that allows you to mark a web page for a quick navigation back to a page. That is, if you look at 30 web pages in succession, if you mark one particular one for SnapBack you can easily find it and go back when you need to.Now Firefox users can have the same capability thanks to a fantastic extension appropriately named SnapBack. To install SnapBack, go to the Mozilla add-on page and click the "Install this Add-on" link. Restart Firefox and you'll be ready to snap back and forth. No heel clicking or Ruby slippers required.

Nice tip, I guess there is another blog I need to read regularly, as if engadget wouldn't take too much of my time already ;)

That's what I use tabs for.

^^^^ What abscissa said. What's the point of this again? I find that my tabs rarely even have any history -- I tend to "new tab" most of my navigation clicks in a sort of tree hierarchy. Open all blogs in bookmark folder (one tab each); open interesting articles in first blog (one tab each). Read articles from first blog, closing each when finished. Rinse and repeat.
I guess some people find this useful, I just can't think why.
