@ Arwyn Hainsworth
Firefox doesn't go back to the previous page if you press backspace while 
filling out a form, so there is no data loss.  And saying that shortcuts are 
not meant for average users is denigrating.

Also, consistency is something that often improves usability, but not if
you use it without thinking.  To give you one example: going back to the
previous page in lynx, links, elinks, info, etc. is done by pressing the
LeftArrow key, so if we change Backspace to PageUp we should add this
LeftArrow shortcut to Firefox too.  Because we need consistency, you
know...


@ Toby Smithe
This is not only about Windows users, but also about those users that have been 
using Ubuntu for 2 years now (or linux even longer), and suddenly it starts 
doing weird things.
