Backspace button doesn't work in Firefox

Can I fix this problem ? It's pretty annoying to use the mouse all the time in order to return to another page. I have Fedoracore 6.0 with Firefox 2.

Thank you.

For some stupid reason that option was changed either do the about:config thing or add the following to your user.js file:

/* Set backspace key to go to previous page */
user_pref("browser.backspace_action", 0);

"Type “about:config” in the address bar of Firefox and press Enter.
`Filter` for ‘browser.backspace_action’ and change its value to 0 (zero)."
