Backspace key making my browser go backwards???

I will be making a post, and in the middle of typing, I will hit the backspace key but instead of deleting what I typed, it will make my browser go backwards a few pages.

It just started happening for no apparent reason a few days ago. Why would this be happening and how can I fix it?

Is it on gamespot? Because I've just come back onto this forum after a year of absense and quite a lot, when I'm typing, it's like the cursor just jumps out of the text box and I have to click back in to continue what I'm typing. It's very annoying and I think it's just this forum..george_hopkins

This has been happening to me too on GS recently. It's been driving me crazy.

yep its GS fault and chaning what app for http use you use wont help, ive tried mcaffee, firefox, chrome, IE, opera, safari, and netscape on # os's (windows xp, mac os x, and fedora core 10).

Yea, it only seems to happen on Gamespot. It's very annoying. I have to go back and type my message all over again when it happens.GAMESHARQ

I was also having this issue. I just disabled the backspace working as a back button, so at least it won't go back a page on me.

To disable browser backspace in firefox open firefox and type about:config in the address bar, hit enter. Go down to where it says "browser.backspace_action", and change the value to 3, then backspace will not cause the browser to go back a page.
