    Question Firefox & Cordless Mouse

    I have recently switched to FF as my browser but the backwards & forwards buttons on my Logitech Cordless Click Mouse no longer work. I have assigned them in the set up menu so any suggestions

    some older vers of the logitech sowfware didn't work with firefox for me (latest does) so you assign the keys Alt <- for back and Alt -> for forward to the buttons that should work.

    In the Logitech driver change buttons 7 & 8 to "Generic Button" By clicking "Other" then "Select Function" Should work after that.

    I stopped using Mouseware a long long time ago, the drivers were crap, sure, it let me see my remaining battery power, but its much easier to notice when the batteries die.. I found the software caused endless problems with binding mouse buttons in certain games.. the Generic HID drivers work better.. the Saitek HID drivers worked better still (yes, even with my logitech cordless keyboard and mouse)

    I may be being a bit dense but my mouse only has 6 buttons - or are these hidden functions in the software - forgot to add I'm using Win 98SE

    Then try changing the buttons assigned from Forward/Back to Generic and see if that helps.

    When asking these questions its easier if you tell us what the mouse actually is and what OS your using, then you can be helped quicker.

    Good point

    Its a Logitech cordless click! plus working under Win 98SE

    I've changed button 5 & 6 on the side of the mouse to generic but still no joy.

    can you not set the buttons to user define or similar and then Alt -> for forward, Alt <- for back.
