I have a MacBook pro and I’m using Firefox 9.0.1. I use the Kerio webmail client for my work email and I’ve noticed just recently that when I’m logged into Kerio webmail my delete key is now acting like the back button instead of performing the delete function when I have an email selected. Now when I select an email that I wish to delete and I hit delete it takes me back to my email log-in page rather then sending the email to the trash. When I try this function in other browsers it performs as it has always and sends the email to the trash. I’ve tried doing some research on the matter but I keep finding posts about ”about:config” and changing the value of “browser.backspace_action” to 2. But this only prohibits the browser from going to the previous page and does not allow the deletion of the selected email. Am I the only person with this type of issue? Any help would be appreciated.
