I've just run up against the same problem. Apparently, that makes me and one other guy. In any case, the lonely multitudes are aggrieved.

I do quite a bit of editing on wikis, and what I wish to configure those mouse buttons to do (for that work process) is act as HOME and END keys. Either when I'm backing through pages I want to slam to the top, or I'm browsing forward and want to access the categories by slamming to the bottom.

I thought that configuring btnx would cover this. It worked for every application *except* Firefox.

I'm a bit shocked that Firefox doesn't seem to have a way to disable this helpful behaviour in about:config. There are many other mouse parameters in there, and this mouse button intervention particularly conflicts with other approaches.
