When I make a spelling mistake and press backspace my Firefox goes back a page and I lose what I'm writing, it never used to do this, and it's really pissing me off. Help me ?

In your URL form (The place where you type your web addresses) type:

1. about:config
2. Press OK on the warning
3. In the filter form near the top, type: browser.backspace_action
4. Double-click the preference and type 2 in the value field, then press OK.

That will unmap the backspace key from the back button, and you won't have that problem anymore.

Thank you very much!
