Authoritatively, the action for backspace should be to do nothing on
Linux. This was discussed with the GNOME usability guy, Sun, Novell,
and Mozilla a bit ago and was checked in as per the bug you posted. It
appears that it is still not in the 2.x branch though other distros such
have patched it in, with a quick glance.
I guess having had this set in my local preferences for ages, I sort of
forgot about it in the 2.x branch. I am okay with turning this pref to
do nothing even though it will be last minute as this is what upstream
has decided and will be in future versions of Firefox as it best matches
the platform convention.
Oke good so it's gonna do nothing in Fedora 8 right?
