Backspace in Firefox 2

As part of my upgrade to Edgy the other day, Firefox was upgraded to 2.0. It’s been upgraded every day since then, and is I think finally running a real 2.0 build

[code]

$ apt-cache show firefox | grep Version
Version: 2.0+0dfsg-0ubuntu3
[/code]

The biggest interface changes I’ve noticed to Firefox 2 so far include some cosmetic changes to the tab panel layout, which I’m mostly used to, and the ‘backspace’ button now no longer steps backwards in your history.

This behaviour is controllable via about:config however. Setting the following will revert to the old behaviour.
[code]

browser.backspace_action = 0
[/code]
