@ Arwyn Hainsworth
Firefox doesn't go back to the previous page if you press backspace while filling out a form, so there is no data loss. And saying that shortcuts are not meant for average users is denigrating.
Also, consistency is something that often improves usability, but not if you use it without thinking. To give you one example: going back to the previous page in lynx, links, elinks, info, etc. is done by pressing the LeftArrow key, so if we change Backspace to PageUp we should add this LeftArrow shortcut to Firefox too. Because we need consistency, you know...

This is not only about Windows users, but also about those users that have been using Ubuntu for 2 years now (or linux even longer), and suddenly it starts doing weird things.
