This is almost incoherent.  Also, it shouldn't have the security flag, that's bogus.

First off, backspace doesn't make sense as a delete key here, that's not going
to happen.  Delete works fine.

Also, arguing that there should be a confirmation if using Edit-Delete, and none
if you hit the delete key is strange, since its equally likely that either is an
accident.  In any case, as the only really viable part of this, that's a dupe of
bug 208399
