mouse nav buttons do not work in firefox (atleast out of the box)

[Navreet]

the buttons on the side of my mouse (Logitech MX500) do nothing when I am using
mozilla-firefox. The "normal" behavior in mozilla-firefox (window's version)
and IE is that they go forward and backward in history. I found this hack for
gentoo: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mouse_Nav_Buttons that accomplishes the
same thing.

http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/851.gif <--here is an image of my mouse,
the buttons I am referring to are the ones on the left side of the mouse.

Another side note: I was looking through xev to see what events they generated,
it seems that the smaller button on the left side of the mouse was generating
the same event (same button #) as the right click button.
