Firefox Will Disable the Backspace Key with Version 86 Release Jan 8, 2021 18:23 GMT

One of the changes Mozilla is planning in a future browser update concerns the backspace key whose current role in Firefox is to allow users to go back to the previous page.
In other words, if you want to go back to the page you’ve just visited, it’s enough to press the backspace key on the keyboard, without the need for clicking the back button in the UI.
Modernized Storage Spaces Settings
You can now create and manage Storage Spaces from within the Settings app. This includes creating storage pools and storage spaces, adding, and removing disks, and optimizing pools. This new experience provides an accessible, modern experience integrated with other storage features.
Run commands on start up in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
We have added an option that allows you to run any specified Linux command on startup of a WSL distribution. You can accomplish this by editing the
/etc/wsl.conf file in your distribution and adding an option titled “command” under a section titled “boot”. This command will run whenever your specific WSL distribution starts up. The example below shows using this functionality to create a method to log the time and date for each startup of this WSL distro.
