I use Digger <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1467> for
that. It gives you access not only to one level up, but to all
levels in the hierarchy as well as the Google cache and Wayback
Machine archive of the address. And it does this not only for
the current page (via the Go button's context menu) but also for
every link on a page (via the link's context menu). Extremely
handy, but clearly a feature rather than a fix.

I agree that extensions mitigate the hatefulness of braindeath
in Firefox. They can, however, not expunge it; by definition.
