I've been using Netscape 7.2 for a year. I do a lot of scrolling on FR and eBay and Safari doesn't have a drop down menu for back, reload etc.

Sure it does. Back and Forward are under the History Menu choice. Reload is under the View Menu. You can also click and hold the Back and Forward buttons. It also has a neat feature called "Snapback" that allows you to mark a page and return to it repeatedly, no matter how far down a link tree you might go. The Google search bar does it automatically for the search results when you click on any particular result link, but you can mark a any page for "shapback" by selecting "Mark for Snapback" under the History Menu.

By-the-by, get a very useful utility called Safari Extender... it lets you do neat things like re-order your tabs.

Safari Extender

It's shareware... $10 and worth every penny.
