Backspace stopped working

Reported by yles...@gmail.com, Aug 18 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Load a page
2. Click a link
3. Press backspace

What is the expected behavior?
Go back

What went wrong?
It doesn't go back.  A message pops up saying to press alt+backspace, but that doesn't work either.

Did this work before? Yes As long as I can remember

Chrome version: Version 52.0.2743.116 m  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.3
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I found a few other issues reporting this on Linux and Mac as well, but they didn't mention Windows.

yless@ - Please press Alt+LeftArrow key to navigate back to the page instead of backspace key. For reference please take a look on  bug 608016 . If issue still persists please let us know.

Thanks!

Alt-left arrow (when a form field does not have focus) is the way to navigate back. There are extensions in the web store that restore backspace-as-back.

I can't comment on that issue, so I'll keep posting here.

The issue still persists.  I can use alt+left, but if I press backspace several times it doesn't work, and instead gives a popup saying to use alt+backspace.
