> 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.

Thanks for the heads up since I use this feature constantly :(

That's great. I don't know how many forms I lost this way. Usually because the form focus is laggy or something stole the focus.

FINALLY. Kept having to re-disable this cursed anti-feature after updates turned it back on

i think if you add the setting to your user.js then you won't have they problem

Yay. This abomination of a shortcut finally gone.

> The “Highlight All” feature on Find in Page now displays tick marks alongside your scrollbar that correspond to the location of matches found on that page.

Finally! Now if they change the awful default search highlighting color scheme from green/magenta to something less confusing that would be great. (I know you can muck around the configs, but it's way too complicated for normal users).

I see chromium uses yellow for all matches and orange for the current match. That's indeed more intuitive.
