At least, that worked for me - I didn't actually take the time to see what the values meant for it. Go to about:config, and set browser.backspace_action to 1. Luckily, you can turn this off in Firefox. This is just horrible default behavior and I'd love to get my hands on whoever added this to IE in the first place.

It's stuff like this that keeps Firefox from really feeling like a native Mac OS X application (though it is steadily improving).Īnother little thing I discovered in Firefox - by default the Backspace key acts as a back button. I also miss the standard "up arrow" to go to the beginning of a line in a text field and "down arrow" to go to the end of the line. This behavior isn't really wrong, just one of those little things to get used to with a different tool. Camino was smart enough to know if the current tab was empty or not and either use it or create a new one when I opened a bookmark using LaunchBar.Ĭamino would load the bookmarked URL in the tab I'd just created while Firefox opens another. I do miss a couple of things about Camino.

I've thought about finding a way to convert Latitude and Longitude into an address and then feeding that through the same process as the static location. Using different themes for the different profiles helps avoid visual confusion. Another free API (or APIs) to find the WOIED. I like the tab treatment, but I miss the favicons in the bookmarks toolbar. I'm using the GrApple (Eos) theme for my "browsing" profile. Now I just type 'ffm' or 'ffd' in iTerm and Firefox launches with the profile I want.
