Perhaps Firefox allows the Back button -- the backspace key is equivalent to the Back button -- because users do not like being trapped by dialogs?

Have you considered handling this event: window.onbeforeunload?

Edit: Updated documentation: beforeunload

Note that Firefox has a build-in way to disable the backspace key.

Your existing function could set a global flag that you check in the function that runs onbeforeunload; does that work?

I'm not aware of any way to get rid of the dialog.
