I recommend you petition in mozilla.ui, cc'ing [EMAIL PROTECTED] at least, for some usability data to justify this change. There very likely have not been any usability studies, and lacking real data, I think Mozilla should do what Netscape 4.x did in this case -- IIRC, 4.x on Windows used Alt-< as the shortcut for Back.
