Is there any way to configure my firefox (under Ubuntu 7.04) so that the backspace key will go back one page?

Cheers.

I don't know, its not in preferences so I doubt it. But if you want it that bad you can download wine and then the windows version of firefox and it works.. I did this once when I needed a plugin that wasn't available for linux..

go to about:config , type in "back" as the filter. Methinks that "browser.backspace_action" probably has something to do with what you're asking.

Ah, cheers mate.

You set the value to zero for those wondering.

Nice to know. I've just been using alt + arrow keys.

I just use the web buttons on my keyboard.

you guys should use opera, back is just hold right click and tap left on the mouse. forward is hold left and tap right.



edit:
just to save making a new thread, has anyone come accross a mouse gesture app for gnome yet? there was one in the works a while ago, but it was basically shit and didn't work, and i would love to see a decent one.

On all my firefox's, right click + drag left is back, rightclick + drag right is foward.

hey wow, same here. i didn't realise that was an option. i think ill still use the clicks though, it makes it easier to skip forward and back multiple pages.

Holy crap, that clicking thing works for me to.

FOR A NEW LEVEL OF LAZINESS!

Doesn't work for me, but I noticed that on my laptop, if I drag my finger across the bottom of the touchpad, it'll go forwards/back in firefox, which was neat (although it was really annoying until I figured out why I was going to previous webpages at random =p)

worst come to worse use the delete key, just gotta put it before the words to use it though.

You've got it all wrong.
