"backspace" key

Make it so that when you press the "backspace" key, the browser goes back to the previous page in the history, even if the settings do not allow storing history.

I reported an issue with Firefox 143.0.2 where History would not stay deleted. Same problem as reported by Bojan Nesic 5days ago. It looks like the bug is fixed/closed. (Sorry- this is first time I've reported a bug). I updated to 143.0.3 but bug remains. Is there another update? Thanks

Hello Mozilla,

I am about to trash Firefox ... an app that I have used for years, but in the past few weeks it has become an item of frustration.

I have the lastest version which in itself works great but recently cannot remember settings from session to session. I have reviewed comments on the subject but cannot find a solution.

Help please ... or it will be trashed within the week.

For quite some while now, when I pull up my site history, it doesn't matter what I search, the search returns no matches found.

Yesterday, I visited a site. Today, I pulled up the history (^H) and then proceed to search for a word I knew was in the title of the page because I had printed it and had it in front of me. It was not found. I then searched manually through my history and found the page.

See attached screenshots.

  1. Searching for the word "corn" and not being found in the history
  2. Manual search shows the content exists with the word "corn"

I am asking for this to be FIXED!!! I have ALWAYS had "Delete browser history opon close" set. However, now this latest update DISREGARDS MY SETTING and KEEPS my browser's history (shows in history tab now) ! I am OUTRAGED and ready to end my use of Firefox! So many of the recent updates IGNORE HOW and WHY we use Firefox.

10 September 2025

I'm used to use the sidebar history to open previous links for a variety of reasons. You used to be able to click or middle mouse click the links to open the tab in the current or a new tab. But it seem now i can only left click the links and it opens them in a new tab regardless. Right clicking only allows you to open the link in a new tab or a new (private) window.

Is there a way to fix this? Please help.

Thanks

I got a notification from Firefox to update the browser. Which is fine. But, when I tried to go to History to delete the downloads and previous months history. It will not allow me to delete the months history. It does nothing.

I hope you have a resolution for this issue. Thanks.
