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

[hackel]

A more apt analogy would be changing the gearbox so that shifting into
reverse is the *same* as shifting into first, because as we know,
shifting into reverse while driving forward can cause some major "data
loss".  Then putting the actual reverse control not on the steering
wheel (where it might even be somewhat convenient), but rather on a
separate lever in the passenger glove box that you really have to reach
for.

Sadly, yesterday was the ONE YEAR anniversary of this bug existing, and
being unresolved (at least to our satisfaction), and I don't see Ubuntu
or Mozilla developers eager to fix it at all.  The Mozilla bug was
reported in Feb 2006 and still nothing.  Mozilla changed my original bug
on reversing this, to "On Linux, backspace should do NOTHING", which was
really irritating seeing as that is not what I wanted at all.  I very
much agree with you that this makes no sense, and I will not accept it
until they also change the default behaviour on Windows and Macintosh
platforms.
