The Browser Firefox disables the backspace key to prevent users from accidentally losing data typed into forms.
In 2014, Google removed the feature restitutions to a previous page using the backspace key, as it could cause data entered into forms on the current page to be lost.
Respectively, seven years ago, the company Mozilla opened an error post to discuss whether the backspace key should be disabled, but finally decided then not to make changes.
Six years later, Mozilla finally decided to implement this change, αφού ο Firefox και ο Internet Explorer 11 είναι τα μόνα programs browsers that support this keyboard shortcut!.
We read from her notes Firefox Nightly version 86.0a1: To avoid losing user data when filling out forms, the Backspace key as a navigation shortcut for "Go back one page" has been turned off. You can re-enable the Backspace keyboard shortcut if you go to the page about: config and set it browser.backspace_action to 0. You can also use the recommended shortcut Alt + left arrow ”.
Η change is now available in the latest nightly version of Firefox for users to try.
