in linux the default hotkey for pressing back is not nice. anyone who might have a muscle memory imprint from using a mac is used to pressing alt + left arrow to jump whole words when editing.

in linux firefox, doing that subconsciously will cause you to go back to the last webpage, and potentially lose paragraphs of text input form the page you were about to submit.

it would be good to consider a different default, but is there a way for me to change it myself?

I haven't been able to find what you want for CentOS (sorry ....).

Maybe you could ask here :

(or wait and see if maybe someone else here knows the perfect solution for you ..... )

If you would open such a page where you input text in a new tab then there is no back history and Alt + Left won't have effect. There is usually no way to disable builtin keyboard shortcuts.
