That happens on some modern sites when visiting them with older versions of the browser’s gecko engine. Not all input fields are fully recognized as such anymore, and then “Go Back” is used instead of “Delete”. A quick on-the-fly workaround is to press SHIFT+Backspace for deleting. For a permanent solution you can remove the default “Go Back” shortcut from the “Backspace” key: Edit > Configuration > Accelerators Add this line and restart: VK_BACK = (Notes: The above solution is just a profile setting, not global. Better but slightly more complicated: Remove that shortcut in all profiles by default and instead of “Backspace” use “SHIFT-Backspace” as shortcut for “Go Back”. For this edit the file K-Meleon\defaults\settings\accel.cfg and change VK_BACK = ID_NAV_BACK into #VK_BACK = ID_NAV_BACK SHIFT VK_BACK = ID_NAV_BACK By the way there’s another default shortcut for flipping back pages: ALT+Left Arrow.
