[Bug 60995] Re: The backspace key pages up instead of going back in history

[Kevin P. Munn]

I have read the commments, and arguements, both pro and con.
As an "End User",, who prefers to keep things simple (KISS Disciple), Having just one key to press is much easier. for me, and colleagues who HAVE to use "Ubuntu" OS (Corporate Mandate) with Firefox. Pressing multiple keys can be confusing as you have to remember which combo does what. Playing "Chase The Cursor" while trying to type work related documents is also annoying, as it is the only viable option.
On a personal level, I use Firefox as my "Default" browser, despite using WinXP, as it is, or at leaast was the more intuitive and viable option to IE, of ANY "Flavour". To the developers, this may seem a small thing, but can lead people, like me, to "Drop" Firefox, for IE as I prefer things NOT to get complicated. I reccomend Firefox, as it is the better Browser, and is eaasier to "Make My Own".
As a side note, I found a PDF from TechRepublic (70+ Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts), which despite being two years old, is STILL valid and is becoming No1 on the company's Document Wishlist.
Why mention this? It has the Alt+Right/Left Arrow - Move Forward/Back. But it also has the Return - Move Back shortcut.
