Could someone explain this to me? I don't use Firefox so I'm not sure what the issue is here.



Backspace goes back one page in the browser. What I was basically saying is that he's stolen the back button on the browser so that it does things on his website and not the normal operating procedure. I can't leave his site through just the keyboard.


Could try using alt+left instead of backspace, although websites could steal that as well.


I suppose my point here is: "Why should I have to?" it's just a website and it's hijacking the command. Websites should comply with the regular rules of the keyboard unless I permit otherwise.
