180937 - backspace key to go back to previous page doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2002.11.19.04 comm trunk bits on win2k.

1. make sure that you've browsed several pages in your current window (or tab)
and do *not* start using typeahead find (see bug 177005).
2. hit the backspace key.

expected results: should go back to the previously-viewed page.

actual results: nothing happens.

note: shift-backspace to go foward a page also doesn't work.

fortunately, alt-left/right arrow shortcuts still work fine.

if i disable type ahead find --by adding
user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind", false); to my prefs.js-- this is no
longer a problem.
