Can I program keyboard keys to function as back & forward key in Firefox
I have changed my keyboard and mouse for a Logitech MK250 wireless USB combo and my mouse has no back and forward buttons. It would be nice to program the left arrow-key to back and right arrow-key to forward if possible.

You can also use Backspace and Shift + Backspace if you set the pref browser.backspace_action to 0 (default is 2 on Linux to disable this feature).

On Windows, you use Alt+LeftArrow to go back and Alt+RightArrow to go forward. Does that work on your keyboard??
You also could consult the keyboard shortcuts article for more (possibly Linux-specific) suggestions: Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help.
Edit: If you prefer not to hold the Alt key, perhaps this add-on can do it?

I haven't tried it myself.

The Alt+LeftArrow and Alt+RightArrow also work for Linux (Ubuntu). I'll have a look on The How to and the add-on to see if it is better for me. Thank you !
