> backspace and shift+backspace still work for back and forward.

That's no longer the default. It was disabled because it confused regular users and could cause data loss if people think they're typing in a form and the Backspace instead navigates back.

But good news! You re-enable Backspace as a keyboard shortcut to navigate back by setting the about:config pref "browser.backspace_action" to 2.

Correction: set to 0, not 2.
