Instead it's performing a "Page Up". I've found this problem in all 2.0 branch builds I tried so far, including 2.0b2. I haven't tried 2.0 builds on Windows so I don't know if it is afected or not. Reproducible: Always
This is intended behaviour. See Bug 325541.

This is a bug. The original person that posted that this is a wrong mapping in linux is very mistaken. I have used Linux for 9 years now and have never seen the backspace used as a PAGE UP..... THINK DEVELOPERS !!! There is _NO_ distro that map's the backspace to page up in web app's. What GNOME has done was break the usage for it because they don't use common sense. After all what keyboard now a days is missing the bloody UP key? Bug #325541 is invalid and should be reverted so that the backspace functions like it is intended to.

Marking it as duplicate is completely improper. It is exactly the opposite of Bug 351218 and calls for reversal of its changes.

This is NOT, I REPEAT NOT a duplicate of ANY bug you have implied. Backspace mapped to page up by default? You have got to be kidding me !! What keyboard made now is missing the bloody PAGE UP key? You are making us think there is some sort of mental blocking issue here now with all these improper marking duplicates. Is the reasoning part of the brain in shutdown mode ? You insult us by saying we are making invalid bug reports when it's simple common sense with this bug. How disappointing.

This is not a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325541. It is the opposite. Backspace should go back in history as it awlways DID.

A dozen people have already complained about this and all they do is either mark the complaints as a dup bug or ignore you.
(In reply to comment #10) > Backspace should go back in history as it always DID. FWIW: I concur. I also found <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301758">this</a> bugzilla entry, about the sudden demise of another very useful function. What's wrong with you people!? Think I'll go back to using Phoenix...
If anyone hasn't noticed...... This has bug isn't assigned by anyone anymore. It was removed some time back. The developers here simply don't give a flippin f**k what anyone thinks here. They are typical GNOME people and they do what they want when they want. They don't ask anyone for their opinions. They simply just do it and god forbid you disagree with them, they only ignore you then. They have even deleted all votes made on this bug to restore its original function. Linus Torvalds once called the GNOME people nazi's on the GNOME mailing list after a huge fight over developing the settings/preferences for users. I refer you to read http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2005-December/msg00022.html The same mentality is here as well and common sense is flushed each morning when the FF developers wake-up and take the first **** of the day.
