firefox url plugin

Just curious to learn if anyone has encountered a plugin that would do
what I would like to see.

When you are browsing through a number of sites (lets say Linux Today
or Google search results), firefox puts the urls in a list of finite
size when you open a new link. After selecting a nother link, you can
use the "dot" to the right of the back arrow to go back several spets
at one whack, if you haven't flushed the desired link from the list by
means of too many intermediate link references.

What I would like to see and I would kill for that feature is the
ability to control the process manually, ie

1. Click on a tab or use a keystroke to record the current url in a
private space (lets say its a Google results page).
2. browse through any number of links as an intermediat operation
3. return to the origina; results page with one or two key/mouse strokes
4. Browse through some other links
5. Return to 3 ad infinitum or until I eliminate the mark

I'm sure I could setup a bookmarks folder to do this in a clumsy
fashion, but it would be nice to have that as a feature.
