    In firefox' url bar type:

    about:config

    look for string: broswer.backspace_action

    (there's a fancy filter so just type "backsp" and press enter, you'll get it)
    the value should be 2.

    Double click on it, and set it to 0. Voila, backspace works as a Back key :)

    Thanks for the help, I guess old habits die hard. I always use the backspace on my other computers.
