Mozilla Firefox disabling backspace key to prevent data loss
January 6, 2021
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...disabling-backspace-key-to-prevent-data-loss/

Mozilla Firefox is disabling the browser's backspace key to prevent users from accidentally losing data typed into forms.

Seven years ago, Mozilla opened a bug post to discuss whether the backspace key should be disabled but decided at the time not to make any changes.
Over six years later, Mozilla has finally decided to implement this change after Firefox and Internet Explorer 11 are the only browsers to support this keyboard shortcut.

"To prevent user data loss when filling out forms, the Backspace key as a navigation shortcut for "Go back one page" is now disabled. To re-enable the Backspace keyboard shortcut, you can change the about:config preference browser.backspace_action to 0. You can also use the recommended Alt + Left arrow (Command + Left arrow on Mac) shortcut instead," Firefox Release Manager Pascal Chevrel added to the Firefox Nightly 86.0a1 release notes.

According to TechDows, who first reported on this change, the change is now live in the latest Firefox nightly build for users to test.
