Neueste Antworten auf How can I turn of the STUPID nonsense that makes Firefox think a backspace is the same as the back arrow button on the navigation toolbar?https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/11947392017-12-13T06:21:34-08:00Thanks.

</p><p>I knew that it wasn't doing it all the time, but I could never figure out exactly when it did and didn't do it. It seemed to be doing it when I hit the backspace key several times quickly -- as in backspacing out a word before typing something else. I never thought about where the "cursor" was located because when I'm typing text I really don't care where the mouse pointer is. I have to hands on the keyboard and I usually expect the mouse pointer to stay wherever it was last - which might or might not be at the start of the text box that I am typing in.

I feel your pain and disable it myself. Here's how:
</p><p>(1) In a new tab, type or paste <strong>about:config</strong> in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
</p><p>(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste <strong>back</strong> and pause while the list is filtered
</p><p>(3) Double-click the <strong>browser.backspace_action</strong> preference and change the value to 2 and click OK.
</p><p>Two isn't a magic number, any value other than 0 or 1 causes the key to do nothing (outside of a text editing field). See: <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action" rel="nofollow">http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action</a>
