I've mentioned that one of the annoying things about Firefox is the key combinations being a real pain. This is a quick step by step on how to fix it. Visit http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/keyconfig and click "Install" - it's located at the bottom of the first box You will see an alert up the top of your screen telling you you can't install from this site. Click the button and add extensionroom.mozdev.org to the list of allowed sites Click install again. After a few seconds a window will appear allowing you to click on the extension and isntall Quit Firefox and reopen In the tools menu select Keyconfig. Find the key combinations you want (in my case command + left arrow for Back) and select disable, apply, etc. Close the window, close the current browser window, create a new window and Bob's your uncle. (Well... he is mine anyway!)
