I'd like to be able to map button6 to Moz' "Back" and Button7 to "Forward"
globally (not just on one page.)
The back/forward feature is covered by bug 30431

INVALID until it's possible to use those buttons on Linux at all
I use those buttons in Linux every single day.

Mice with more than five buttons are supported (at least on BSD and Linux
systems) with properly configured XFree86 since version 4.1. It'd be nice to add
a back/forward buttons to mozilla (in latest kde the support is included for
example).
Confirming this is a 30431 bug duplicate.
