On the Logitech mice, the forward and back function buttons don't work at all,
but for some odd reason work just fine in the Netscape application, but don't
work in the mozilla suite either.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto a web page
2. Goto another webpage
3. Click the back mouse button on the mouse
Actual Results:  
Browser does not go forward or back with mouse buttons

Expected Results:  
Go forward or back with mouse navigation buttons

I agree. The forward/back buttons do not work in Firefox RC2

I just bought the new Logitech MX-1000 laser mouse.  The side buttons for
navigating BACK and FORWARD do not work in Firefox versions 0.9.3 or 1.0PR. 
They do work in MS Internet Explorer, so it isn't the mouse that is faulty.
My old Logitech mouse, a "Cordless Mouseman Optical" M-RM63, has a BACK button
assigned and it works fine in both of these Firefox versions.

I'm sorry, I should've elaborated on the mouse I bought, it too is a MX 1000
laser mouse with the latest Logitech driver software.

Logitech have provide me a solution.  Assign back and forward buttons as
"other", then select "generic button" from list. Worked for me!
