the reason this isn't working for you is because the keyboard shortcut (which is
what the back button essentially does) is broken.  that's bug 205447.  someone
should mark this as a dupe.

a workaround, which i've used, is to make the back button send option left for
back in firebird.  unfortunately, doing so also seems to send option left to
mozilla seamonkey, which is probably some stupid microsoft mouse driver bug.
