Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 365823

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt Seitz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070220 SeaMonkey/1.5a

Firefox and previous versions of SeaMonkey supported the side buttons of the Microsoft Intellimouse.  Pressing the left side button performed the page back function, and pressing the right side button performed the page forward button.  However, the current SeaMonkey 1.5.0 build seems to ignore these buttons.  

Both the current SeaMonkey 1.1.1 and Minefield 3.0.3a3pre builds seem to support the side buttons.  So it seems to be something specific to the SeaMonkey 1.5.0 UI code, not something inherited from SeaMonkey 1.1.1 or Minefield 3.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to a web page
2.  Click a link
3.  Press the left side button
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
SeaMonkey should display the previous web page.

Fails:

SeaMonkey 1.5a:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070220 SeaMonkey/1.5a
