I want my mouse button four and mouse button five to do something outside of Mozilla Firefox. How can I make it so when browsing with Firefox, my mouse buttons do NOT browse backwards and forwards? Is there a way to turn this feature off?

I have a similar problem. My mouse back button works, but my mouse foreward button only allows me to zoom in and out of the web page.

I have a logitech wireless mouse and keyboard combo and my logitech mouse settings are set to default. The software says the foreward button is assigned to the 'foreward' function.
