Just copy the followings to replace the original methord of “assign the Back and Forward keys”:

<key id=”goBackTabKb” keycode=”VK_F19″ oncommand=”gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1,true);” />
<key id=”goForwardTabKb” keycode=”VK_F20″ oncommand=”gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true);” />

I learned that it would work for me just with:

keycode 233 = XF86Forward
keycode 234 = XF86Back

But thanks anyway for the lead.
