Please make BS and DEL behave like PageUp like they did in NS4. My keyboard has PgUp/PgDn in an inconvenient place, and SPC/BS is hardwired into my brain.

Not so fast.. if Backspace goes back on Linux, that's a bug. The navigation behaviour is Windows-only.

As far as I can tell, Backspace does nothing on Linux. I would like it to do PgUp. Apparently this heretical desire results in a flame war? Regardless, it would be nice if someone would at least tell me how to make *my* instance of the browser do that crazy thing.
Please reopen Bug 36922 if you REALLY want this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36922 ***

In theory you should be able to do this with custom xbl bindings: see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html. In practice, most of the browser commands aren't accessible to XBL bindings (see bug 71779), but page up is a selection controller command and should be XBL bindable (see page up example in the customizing document).
