Comment 112 for bug 60995

"Mozilla changed my original bug on reversing this, to "On Linux, backspace should do NOTHING", which was really irritating seeing as that is not what I wanted at all."

Agreed. This is a really irritating non-solution. If they're concerned about data loss, they should implement a solution that fixes *ALL* such data loss issues. Many pages use javascript to pop up a "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" dialog. This should be just be standard on any page with user-changeable elements. Then the backspace/data loss "issue" would be moot.
