Firefox keybinding BACKSPACE does go BACK to previous webpage

Bug Description

1. Boot Gutsy LiveCD.
2. Launch firefox and surf to some webpage A, and then surf to some webpage B.
2. The BACKSPACE button should make the webbrowser to BACK to the previous webpage.

The backspace key currently does nothing which makes web browsing very annoying on Ubuntu for people who are used to using a polished web browser (i.e. firefox on windows). I think the problem that prevents a fix is that some people were scared that unsaved form data would be lost or something?
