Bugzilla Bug 289071 reports that "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 ?"

This is not the case as it still doesn't work with the Logitech MX900 I'm using
and it even says so on Logitech's support pages as shown below. The Autoscroll
button appears to work ok.

Steps to not have to reproduce:
1. Go to
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/entry.php?c=US&l=EN
2. Under product, select "Logitech" then "Pointing devices" then "MX900"
3. In the Search Text box, type Firefox and click search
4. Click on the one result: "Updated - How do I make the Back & Forward mouse
buttons work in Firefox & Mozilla"
5. Follow the detailed directions.

(Apparently, although they've updated drivers for non-Bluetooth mice, they
haven't updated the MX900 version, or you wouldn't need to do that, but that's
their bug, not Mozilla's.)
