Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259450

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

I have a Logitech Click! Plus Wireless mouse which has the additional "Scroll
Left", "Scroll Right" (horizontal scrolling in additional to the vertical
scrolling of web pages), "Page Forward", and "Page Back" (move web pages forward
and back, like the ALT-LEFT and ALT-RIGHT keyboard shortcuts).  These mouse
features works perfectly with IE but can not function with FireFox.  I really
love the FireFox interface but I also think these functions are very important
for a true user-friendly MMI.  Hope there will be updates for this bug-fix!  Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scroll mouse side scroll buttons
2.Press mouse page forward and page back
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing happened

Expected Results:  
1. page scrolls left and right
2. browser moves to the next and previous pages

same with "Logitech MX Laser"-Mouse (brandnew): IT works in IE, but not in
Firefox (latestVersion 1.0.4). I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.

For the Logitech MX1000 laser mouse it is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259450

The new Setpoint driver supports Firefox/Mozilla now.

Actually come to think, the two Cordless Click!™ versions use the SetPoint™
software also so this bug is a duplicate of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259450 ?

(the corded Click!™ mouse uses the mouseware)


Duplicate of Bug 259450 ?

@Howard, If your using the MX1000 laser mouse than it is Bug 259450 as I
mentioned before you posted.

If your using another Logitech mouse that is using the Setpoint driver, 
take a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Logitech_mouse

You may likely have to update your Setpoint driver as it was only fairly
recently (May?) Logitech provided more proper support for Firefox with the
Setpoint drivers.

Set the middle button/scroll wheel as well "Middle Button" and in Firefox go to
Tools->Options->Advanced->Browsing-> "Use autoscrolling"

Using MX Laser Mouse with Logitech installed software- Set Point.
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 current updates installed
PC: Dell Dimension 9100 Intel Pentium D 3gh 1gb Ram

I have found that when Set Point is active I get the following:

No use of Forward/Back side button

Use of side to side scrolling, application select, up/down scrolling, and
clicking is normal and produce desired results.

If Set Point is disabled:

No use of side/side scrolling

use of back/foward, up/down scrolling, application select, and clicking are
normal and produce selected results.

I have found that the Logitech site has a work around/fix for this issue:

Using Logitec Cordless MouseMan Optical, "page back" doesn´t work anymore, after
the latest update (friday night I think it was some toolbar extensions funktions
that screw things up), neither original funktion nor Logitecs fix mentioned at
the bottom of this page!

This boils down to the same issue with the Logitech drivers.
