Switching between using Firefox in Windows and Ubuntu I am used to being able to hit the BACKSPACE key to go back one page. This is the default behaviour in Windows but not in Ubuntu.

To change the behaviour in Ubuntu:

Type about:config as your URL

Filter to browser.backspace_action and then change that value.

0 – sets it to the windows default (back 1 page)

1 – sets it to scroll up (shift+backspace = scroll down)

2 – disable backspace key

Incidentally in Ubuntu you can always do the following without changing anything:

• ALT+ Left Arrow = go back 1 page
• ALT+ Right Arrow = go fwd 1 page
