In their defense, I’m not sure I have ever seen a major UI redesign of some piece of software that the users of that software actually liked, at least at first. Inertia and muscle memory are powerful things.
Is there a way to restore backspace button function in the newest version of Firefox, so when pressing it the previous page opened?
This function was very helpful for me!
To prevent user data loss when filling out forms, we’ve disabled the Backspace key as a navigation shortcut for the back navigation button. To re-enable the Backspace keyboard shortcut, you can change the about:config preference browser.backspace_action to 0. You can also use the recommended Alt + Left arrow (Command + Left arrow on Mac) shortcut instead.
The better UX could have been making this a regular option, and (by default) showing a warning dialogue if using backspace to navigate would clear out a form.

People hate two things the most: things changing and things staying the same.
Hence the reason why you make small gradual improvements over a long time. YT has been around a long time, and Google should know better.
Well the old Google development company would know better, the new Google advertising agency doesn’t give a shit
How is that in their defense?? You reveal them for the gross imcompetents that, and almost all developpers are.
If foreign strangers impose changes on my motor cortex then my prescription is to give them flamethrower enemas.
Stop it, just stop it! Or else!
How very luddite of you
LOL, nailed it.
I’m still bitter about browsers removing backspace for previous page. How was that hard to maintain?!

I understand the reasoning, but I really wish Firefox had configurable keyboard shortcuts.
heck, everything should have configurable shortcuts. It’s an accessibility feature with an obvious curb cut effect.
