How can I disable 'backspace' key from navigating back a page?
I found an old article that said to set a value who knows where to 2, but that wasn't helpful. And I found a page that listed all the shortcuts, but didn't say how to change them. That wasn't helpful either, doggone it!
I agree with a previous poster that this "feature" is inappropriate -- using a text edit key while editing text should not cause navigation to occur.
Thanks!

Hi Ed, when the cursor is in a form field, Backspace shouldn't trigger Back. But some fancy editors could be an exception.
I'm not sure what you mean by this:

Do you mean the article didn't have enough information to make that change, or making that change didn't solve the problem?
For reference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste backsp and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.backspace_action preference to display an editing field, and change the value to 2 then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
That has always worked for me.
