There is an arrow in left coerner of the URL-bar, only usable by mouse. In the old version, 'go back' could be done with th backspace-key on the keyboard. Very convenient! Any reason for removing this feature? Any other way to go back using the keyboard?

Just enter about:config in the address bar and set browser.backspace_action to 0.

Possible values of this pref:

  • 0: Pressing [Backspace] will go back a page in the session history and [Shift]+[Backspace] will go forward.
  • 1: Pressing [Backspace] will scroll up a page in the current document and [Shift]+[Backspace] will scroll down.
  • 2: Any other integer value will simply unmap the backspace key.

Keep in mind that with 0 it's very easy to loose everything in input/textarea fields of the page, and that's why it has been changed.
