I was on a website and when i pressed delete, it made me go back one page. I didn't want to go back one page, all i wanted was to press delete on the website.

You can set this pref to 2 on the about:config page to disable the backspace action.

  • browser.backspace_action = 2

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
