How can I disable the mouse button 4 and 5 "forward" and "back" functions through firefox?

I've seen this problem come up on forums before but was unable to find a good solution.
When using Ventrilo, I have my speak button bound to the mouse button 4 of my logitech mouse. This button is conveniently placed for gaming because it makes use of my otherwise unused right thumb, and I have been using it for years and probably couldn't adjust if i tried to change it.
Firefox uses mouse button 4 for the "back" function, meaning that if i'm on ventrilo while browsing the web with firefox, i have to remember to move the cursor to the menu bar at the bottom of my screen or go back a page. it's infuriating if i forgot, especially if i'm playing some sort of browser game at the time, as i basically have to restart whatever i'm doing.
The only solutions i've found for this involve binding mouse button 4 to some other (rarely used) key, which is an annoying solution at best, or changing some vital computer files, which I dont have the expertise to do myself and dont trust anyone else to do for me. It's an absolutely unacceptable solution anyway: why should i have to change my computer's files to disable a function which should be editable through firefox?
does anyone know how this can be fixed? or know how we can get mozilla to put this feature into some future patch, as other people have been asking them to do for YEARS?

This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

  • How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

    How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

    Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
    In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
    In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

  • How can I disable the previous button in the first page and the next button in the last page?

    Hi all,
    I have created a new skin for a webhelp by modifying the layout and the buttons. However, I am not able to find a way where in we can
    disable the previous button ini the first page of the webhelp and hte the next page in the last page of the webhelp. If both the next and previous button is visibile in the first and last page, it is sort of misguiding the user.
    I am using Robohelp 9.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Parag

    I think you are mixing Previous and Next in a browse sequence and the Previous and Next that you get in the browser itself.
    In a browse sequence, they are automatically disabled at the start and finish. When in the first topic in the sequence only Next will be enabled, when in the last topic only previous will be enabled.
    Previous and Next in the browser are working on the topics your user has viewed which is not the same thing.

  • How can I use the mousewheel to scroll forward and back in Safari?

    I really like Safari. As I see it, the only short coming is a feature that is present in Internet Explorer and Firefox. In both of these applications I can hold down a modifier key (CTRL) and roll the mouse wheel to go back 1 page in history. I would be really glad to know how to do this in Safari, as just about everything else I can do in IE and Firefox is in Safari. This roll back feature is one of the things I use more often than almost anything else.
    Question: How can I use the mousewheel to move backward in the browser history?

    Yes, I could move my hand from the mouse to keyboard to use a key combo... I could even use the delete key... but it's not really as effient as using the mouse's scrollwheel. Not that it's really all that bad, since Firefox is a great browser, but am I stuck with it if I want that one solitary additional feature?

  • How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

    The pad is particularly a nuisance when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I'd rather use a mouse.

    The 'quick and dirty' way would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough not to pickup 'taps' or 'gestures'. A business card cut to fit tightly should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of index card glued together and cut to fit tightly into the trackpad opening ''(one corner cut off so I can remove it when I do need to use the trackpad)''. I did that back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and do it now with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; if I don't have the mouse with me ''(or the battery is dead - wireless USB mouse)'' I just remove the cardboard "plug" so I can use the trackpad.
    Beyond that, check with a Windows 7 support forum to see how to disable that "device". That really isn't a Firefox support issue.

  • How can I disable the limit on stored themes , and save more than 30 themes on my firefox ?

    I spent this afternoon searching through themes and personas , and installing the ones i liked.
    i added about 50-60 themes to firefox , but later i noticed that i only have 30 personas (in add-ons manager > appearances )
    So is there a limit to our installed themes ? obviously there is , but how can I add more themes and personas to my appearances collection ?
    30 seems like a very low number... is there any way to overcome this limit and save and store more themes ?

    Firefox only stores data of a maximum number of personas (DEFAULT_MAX_USED_THEMES_COUNT=30)
    *resource:///modules/LightweightThemeManager.jsm
    If you install more personas then Firefox will remove other personas to make room for the new persona, so it is best to keep a list or bookmark the site of your favorite personas.
    You can override that maximum by creating an Integer pref with the name lightweightThemes.maxUsedThemes and set its value accordingly.

  • How can I disable the white image background on Transparent PNGs? (After Firefox 15)

    Hello.
    I understand that after the Firefox 15 update, transparent images have been given a white background (like in older versions). I personally prefer the dark-grey background. Is there any way to disable the image's background?
    Please see this image: http://i.imgur.com/0suFk.png
    Perhaps using the about:config module there is an option where I may disable the white background? Thanks.

    Thanks for your feedback. I made a restartless add-on that will revert the behavior of standalone images to be rendered against the grey background.

    You can install this add-on and then it will all happy time :)

  • How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

    Good Day,
    On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
    First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
    this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
    I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
    The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
    See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.
