For some like me who love the keyboard, more than mouse at times, Firefox on Ubuntu could get a little irritating to navigate between already surfed pages. On WinDoze, Firefox by default allows backspace to take you back to last visited page (while shift+backspace takes you one page forward). Of course, this is only with default settings and mostly everything is customizable. However, being the lazy me, I didn't do anything about it thus far.
Today, I did the following simple change to get it working and it didn't even need a browser-restart :)
i) Go to about:config by typing the same in the URL.
ii) Promise to be careful with it :)
iii) Type backspace in the filter-bar.
iv) Change the value of browser.backspace_action to 0 (by default, its 2)
You're done. No need to close the browser. Just press backspace and go back to where you left off before irritating yourself because backspace didn't work! ;)
