I want to just disable the alt (option) arrow as browser back one page behavior

i never press backspace by accident in a form, but i am used to option left arrow moving back one word at a time, not having the whole page go back. The benefit of backspace is that it works like a backspace when you are in a form element. The damn alt left arrow thing makes you go back no matter what you're doing on a page.

cannot find it in about:config either.

Solvedish

Switched to the Dvorak-International keyboard, and i can type option c to get ç AND option left arrow does nothing dangerous. Yay!
