Details

Netscape supported using backspace to scroll up a page when a browser window is
focused.  Besides being the logical contrast to space which already scrolls
down, the space-backspace combination is markedly easier to type than the PgDn/PgUp.

All Netscape releases I have used have supported this (although the betas would
sometimes get it wrong).  It would be a shame not to have it in Mozilla.  In
fact, I'm not sure whether the lack of this binding is a bug or the lack of a
feature, as the space binding is there all right.

Note: I have tried to look for files where the key bindings were defined in an
attempt to make this modification myself, but I found it beyond my abilities to
make this change, if it is possible at all.  I'm using Mozilla 0.9.3.
