It uses the left toolbar to show a nested list of previews of all pages you are viewing. Ad you open a new link it gets added to the list, and you can jump to any page by simply clicking on it. It blurs the lines between tabs and history. It's a little dated though, and uses IE for rendering. iRider does this – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRider.

OR someone else could. The hard part would be figuring out what way you want to display the tree. You could probably implement this yourself as a firefox extension. OR someone else could.

No need for a new browser. I often use browser history. This view should be just an option. An alternate simple view implemented in many portals (like Plone and Drupal) is to provide breadcrumbs ( a tree collapsed into one line display).

Unfortunately, it never made it off of OS/2. IIRC, the webmap feature in IBM’s Web Explorer was close to what you’re asking for: a dynamically-generated unordered list of your browsing history.
