The ability to re-bind any keyboard or mouse shortcuts is major accessibility issue that I think needs more attention (connect.mozilla.org)

I bet that's because people trying to type into textbox would sometime defocus, hit back and lose all their text. At least back should go back if there's no data to lose in the tab !

Apparently you can get backspace back with

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/backspace-enabler/

I also just gestures to go back with

You draw a leftward line with rightclick and it goes back

exactly, I accidentally lost a few things back when backspace was the default

alt+left is not that bad of a replacement
