I've got a Logitech MediaPlay wireless mouse and can't get the web browsing buttons to work properly in Firefox. Any hints or cool things I can do?

On a related subject - I have an MX500 mouse and I can't for the f***ing life of me figure out how I can bind the scrollie wheel push down action to open up a URL in FF in another tab.

tried using IE?

i hear stuff works really well with it

Yea opening other tabs in IE works awesome :)


MX500/510 wheel button has never not worked for me, don't know how you broke it. I never installed logi's drivers though, just plugged it in. Forward and back buttons worked by default too.

Logitech = great hardware, s*** software. Don't install the driver software and your web buttons should function as you would expect.
If for some reason you must install logitech's software, you'll need to bind the keys to the appropriate action.

if you've got the software installed bind the buttons that aren't working to a key press and then in firefox bind the key press to whatever you want it to do.. only way i've gotten it to work

Yeah thats what you do. When you have firefox open if you hit alt + back arrow or forward its like clicking the 'go back one page' button. So open up Setpoint (or whatever the mouse software is called), find your back and forward buttons. Set them to keystroke assignment, then set it to alt + back arrow and alt + forward arrow respectively.

and because Im horrible at explaining things:

Yeah it's 100% spyware compatible.

Thanks for the reminder.

buy an ms mouse. mine works perfectly

Ticman go in to the logitech software and change the middle button from universal scroll to middle button.

Cheers - got it going.. I can now browse porn easier.
