Linux support doesn't seem to be very high on the FF priority list [1]. The upstream bug was filed in 2001 and there was no progress since. I'd rather mark this confirmed or rejected since 'in progress' could be a bit misleading...
As Matthew Garret stated we should first bind these buttons to XF86Back and XF86Forward. Bug #20204 describes how to do that. Than we can apply the changes described on Thinkwiki to let Forward an d Backward buttons work out of the box in FF as well.
