Open firefox and type 'about:config' into the address bar and press enter. In the search field type backspace, if you haven't done anything in firefox's config file (prefs.js) there should be a single integer value displayed. Right click and select Modify. Setting the value to 0 will set backspace to go back in your history 1 page. Setting it to 1 will cause the browser to scroll upwards when backspace is pressed. Setting it to any other value will cause the backspace will do nothing.
