Description
I have a Logitech Mx510 mouse.
It has a backwards and a forwards key on the side. In Windows these keys can be used to navigate backward and forward in the browser and file manager.
In Ubuntu these buttons are detected but have no effect in Firefox and Nautilus. Please make these buttons work by default in these applications.

I have a razer mouse with the same issue. Plus one for default forward/back and button remapping.

I can't find it anymore on brainstorm but there was a mention to include btnx which would solve this problem. If that is the case then this idea can be ignored?

btnx seems more like a hack than a real solution to me. Why not just change Firefox and Nautilus to handle mouse buttons properly?

Agreed, mouse configuration should be more "user-friendly"

It should be like the configuration of the special-buttons from a keyboard!!
I tried to setup on Hardy with xdev and xbindkeys but it does't work..
So pleas make a tool for this special thig!!

Mouse configuration must be easy to handle for beginner's

I agree, the extra mouse buttons should just be configurable in the mouse menu (preferences > configuration centre > mouse, dont know if this is the correct translation, my ubuntu is dutch, "voorkeuren > configuratiecentrum > muis")
I am very happy that the forward/backward buttons are working in firefox now though.

I have a logitech mx310 and it works in ff3, but not in nautilus.
I HATE accidentally clicking 'back' though. Still, +1.

yes, me too, I would like have a good interface more user-friendly, with a picture of the mouse and button, I think it's possible, isn't it?
sorry for my English, I speak french...
