Taken from bug 92920:

This is not a bug, it's a feature.  This keymapping was causing user confusion,
so it was taken out.  See bug 69981

Also note that you can go back by pressing ALT+[left arrow key] and forward by
ALT+[right arrow key].

And read the comments towards the end on bug 92920.  There is some discussion
about setting your own keymapping with a link.
