Backspace Function

Making moves

I really liked Firefox in the old days when I could hit the back space key to return to an earlier page on a website.

 

Now it involves a right mouse click and select an arrow, or a mouse click on the top of the left hand side beloe "file".

 

It is slower and inconvenient now.

 

Why cannot the "back space function be brought back eh?

regards

Hello

Is this about ? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/87.0/releasenotes


To prevent user data loss when filling out forms, we’ve disabled the Backspace key as a navigation shortcut for the back navigation button. To re-enable the Backspace keyboard shortcut, you can change the about:config preference browser.backspace_action to 0. You can also use the recommended Alt + Left arrow (Command + Left arrow on Mac) shortcut instead.
