Firefox and "back" mouse button - Not working

[MATTeL]

Hi,

I just installed the latest version of firefox (1.5.0.3) and for some reason it has stopped recognising the button on my mouse assigned to "back"; as it hapeens is it also ignoring the "forward" button.

Now originally I thought this was an issue with my MX518 but apparently not as the Logitech software is happily reporting the buttons configured the way I want them. The drivers for the mouse are also up to date.

I have also tested the buttons in IE6 and they work fine there happily going backwards and forwards through pages.

The extensions I hae currently installed are:
Adblock 0.5.3.042
Allow Right-Click 0.3
DownThemAll! 0.9.9.2
FireFTP 0.90.1.1
IE Tab 1.0.9
IE View 1.2.7
ListZilla 0.7

Has anyone else had this issue or know why it might be occuring?

Cheers,
Mark

Go into your logitech mouse options and select the back and forward buttons to generic.

Okay... that worked.

Thank you very much that!

Okay, so why did that work?

Cheers

Mark - Now much happier and now stopped threatening to install IE7beta!

I have no idea how it works, although probably something to do with how firefox looks at mouse settings or something but I dunno I'm not a programmer.

Fair enough and a perfectly good answer for me.

It works now and I'm happy.

Thanks again for the quick and extremely helpful answer.
