The ability to re-bind any keyboard or mouse shortcuts is major accessibility issue that I think needs more attention (connect.mozilla.org)

Okay what the fuck is wrong with browsers and having the stupidest hotkeys? NO, I would NOT like a shortcut for saving the webpage as html. Please disable ctrl-s by default!

I just want my backspace key to go back a page in my history when I press it, LIKE IT USED TO BE FOR 20+ YEARS.

But no, this is apparently a "poor UI experience", so I have to put my hand on my mouse, locate the pointer, move it to the back button, and then click.

At least Firefox allows you to rummage around under the hood and set it back.

That's fair but you can also use Alt + right/left arrow keys to move forward and back in the page history

Or the side mouse buttons can go forward and back as well. Used to annoy me until I got used to it though

I changed them to previous tab / next tab with xmousebuttoncontrol, it's awesome {ACTIVATE}{CTRL}{PGUP}

I use these mouse buttons in file explorers and electron apps too, it's actually surprising the number of apps that works on.
