See this lynx.cfg option if it exists in your version:

   # LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT
   # This option controls what happens when a Left Arrow key is pressed while
   # in the first position of an active text input field.  By default, Lynx
   # asks for confirmation ("Do you want to go back to the previous document?")
   # only if the contents of the fields have been changed since entering it.
   # If set to TRUE, the confirmation prompt is always issued.
   #
   #LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT:FALSE
