Attached patch patchSplinter Review
In Fennec, handleEscape was used for the hardware "back" button on Android which had some very Android-specific behavior. On Windows, the escape key should be used just for dismissing popup toolbars and dialogs, not for navigation or for closing tabs. This patch removes the Android-specific stuff, and makes escape play well with the "Context UI" (top and bottom toolbars) and the start screen.
