Details

Please make BS and DEL behave like PageUp like they did in NS4.
My keyboard has PgUp/PgDn in an inconvenient place, and SPC/BS
is hardwired into my brain.
Hello Jamie !
you are too late for the discussion :-)

Not so fast.. if Backspace goes back on Linux, that's a bug. 

The navigation behaviour is Windows-only.

As far as I can tell, Backspace does nothing on Linux.
I would like it to do PgUp.

Apparently this heretical desire results in a flame war?
Regardless, it would be nice if someone would at least
tell me how to make *my* instance of the browser do that
crazy thing.
Please reopen Bug 36922 if you REALLY want this.

In theory you should be able to do this with custom xbl bindings: see
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html.  

In practice, most of the browser commands aren't accessible to XBL bindings (see
bug 71779), but page up is a selection controller command and should be XBL
bindable (see page up example in the customizing document).
