Yeah, it's a configuration difference between the Linux and Windows version of Firefox.

You can change this in about:config under Browser.backspace_option

Setting the value to 0 will make it work like it does in Windows.

So has anyone figured out how to get keyboard shortcuts to work again? I miss them.

I'm running Firefox 2.0 on windows and when I try to download something, firefox stop working. it tries to connect to the file I want to download and it just keep searching, and then I can't get on other pages because firefox is supposedly connecting to the said website, but it just end up not working.

the only workaround I found was to run IE for my downloads or Opera, but still that sucks...

Have you tried uninstalling Firefox 2.0 completely and reinstalling it? =o

A new version of Firefox is out now; 2.0.0.1. Try upgrading.

I did. I still have my problem.

So Firefox is dead to me.

I upgraded to 2.0.0.3 a few days ago, and since then I haven't been able to connect to anything with it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. Anyone else having problems with it?

Edit:Nevermind, I figured out what's going on, but I can't get it to fix. Zone Alarm seems to not want it to connect, even though I already set it to again. Of course now ZA is acting screwy. I took it off the list so I could re-add it, and now when I try to add something, it just ignores me. :(

Zone Alarm is pretty lame. I'd recommend a switch to Nod32 with the bazillion years extension patch. =)

I have to agree with Acer here, ANY time Zone Alarm crashes, it brings down your entire internet connection (at least until you restart it). Quite annoying if you are playing WoW.
