Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 259450

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050210 Firefox/0.10 StumbleUpon/1.998

The new MX 1000 Logitech mouse comes with its driver/software known as setpoint.
 It defaults mouse4 and mouse5 (the side thumb buttons on most mx mice) to back
and forward respectively.  However, the back and forward only work on Internet
Explorer and the user is forced to assign mouse4 and mouse5 to the keystroke
alt+left arrow and alt+right arrow.  Somewhat of an inconvenience (especially
for gamers that like to bind actions ingame to those buttons) for the user
in-the-know.  More importantly, the average user will not know how to use this
workaround.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in MX 1000 mouse.
2.Install Setpoint software and reboot as directed
3.Open Firefox, find that mouse4 and mouse5 do not navigate back and forward

Actual Results:  
I got frustrated and did a workaround in the setpoint software to assign those
keys to the back and forward key stroke of firefox

Expected Results:  
set to back and forward by default, the mouse should click navigate correctly in
firefox

I'm hesitant to call this a minor bug because non-techie users of this mouse
software would probably not know the workaround

Please search before you file a bug.
The problem is the mousedriver and not Mozilla.
