Backspace Not Working - iCloud Web

I know it's not a final and elegant fix but you can use control-H, which is the equivalent of backspace. I tried in Firefox on the Mac and it works (whereas the backspace key doesn't).

Dear All,

I do have the same issue. Backspace is not working in Firefox and this is annoying. Backspace does work in Chrome.

Using Safari is for me and for most of us for sure not an option, because there is no version of Safari for Linux or Windows. I am pretty sure that everybody who is using the webversion of iCloud is not working on an apple device.

Best regards

Hi init00,

If this only happens when using Firefox and not with Safari, reach out to Firefox help here as they would be better equipped to assist with their product:

Firefox Help

Cheers!

As Backspace does work in the Notes in the iCloud, I presume it has to be fixed at the Apple side!

Yep. Looks like they fixed it. Backspace is working and it's not automatically adding a date anymore

The exact same thing is happening to me. I use iCloud calendar on a Windows laptop in Firefox, and the backspace was working perfectly fine until the update roughly 2 months ago. It is extremely frustrating that Apple is passing off this issue to Firefox... It isn't Firefox's problem. Also, for me, when creating a new event, pressing enter no longer works to create the event. It just deletes the event. I have to manually click on 'Add'. This is another thing that changed with the new iCloud update. I use my calendar on a daily basis, and asking that Apple fixes these problems so that their program actually works efficiently shouldn't be that much to ask for.

Hello Lager1,

thank you for the reply, however this is an issue on Apple's side. Old iCloud calendar didn't have this issue. Issue occurs on multiple version of Firefox and doesn't manifest on any other site, ergo, issue is with Apple. Please provide a fix. I'm a paying iCloud customer and this is incredibly annoying.

Regards.

Thanks for Chiming in Lager1.

This has to be one of the worst customer support responses I've ever seen. You basically told us to go eff ourselves. Do actually you think Mozilla would even entertain trying to fix the issue on there end? The problem started happening when Apple updated the web based calendar app, making it Apples responsibility to resolve. The issue is not minor and should be an easy fix. Please fix this, I pay for iCloud and expect nothing less then a perfectly polished experience from Apple. If I wanted Jankey ****, I would go to google.

Cheers

Same here on both counts. Since the latest icloud upgrade Backspace doesn't work and the All Day calendar events add one day. Both very annoying. Definitely NOT Firefox's fault, since it worked fine until the upgrade

Apple says it's a Firefox issue. Firefox says it's an Apple issue.

How do we bring them both to the table?

It worked in older versions of Firefox, so I say the problem occurred in an update within the past year.

Backspace worked fine with iCloud/Firefox until the iCloud for Windows upgrade. After the iCloud upgrade the backspace key stopped working. It seems fairly obvious that the upgrade to iCloud caused the problem.

But regardless of whose fault it is or who caused it, it would really be nice if Apple acted like an adult and addressed the problem that now affects MILLIONS of users rather than blaming someone else and ignoring those MILLIONS of users.

This makes no sense at all. Why is this website filled with "specialists" running damage control instead of working to solve issues. It's insanely frustrating.

What is your proposed "problem" with Firefox when no other web software other than iCloud has this issue? iCloud itself did not have this issue before the update. Worse still, why would ANYBODY be using iCloud web on Safari? If we had access to our Apple devices we obviously would not need the web app.

This issue has been ongoing for months now. Does Apple even have a quality control team here?

Hello Lager1 and Soundude are 100% correct. What is the answer?

Would like to have a fix for this as well. Delete button does work, but backspace doesn't anymore. Very annoying.

Same here.

Also, since the most recent upgrade, when you edit an "All day" calendar event, the end date adds one day. I have also seen this happening with Google Chrome.
