Firefox converts to Responsive Design Mode when I click the "back" button on my mouse

Today is October 29, 2021. A few hours ago, when I started clicking the "Back" button on my house, my Firefox screen could convert to Responsive Design Mode, which is something I did not even know existed before today. If I then click the "Forward" button on my mouse, the "Manage Bookmarks" window opens. This started all of a sudden. When I click the forward and back buttons on the browser itself, it works fine. The problem occurs when I click the forward and back buttons on my mouse. I have not changed my mouse settings or done anything with the mouse software. My mouse is a Logitech MX Master 3.

The shortcut for RDM is Ctrl+Shift+M and the shortcut to open the Bookmarks Manager is Ctrl+Shift+O, so it sounds that the Logitech mouse settings are configured to these shortcuts when you press these mouse buttons. Back would normally be "Alt+cursor-left" and Forward would be "Alt+cursor-right", so you need to check the mouse driver settings.

Thank you for replying. That is the first thing I thought. I checked my mouse settings, and the back button is set to back only, and the forward button is set to forward only, so I am still looking for what happened in the past few hours that caused this problem. I have also since downloaded the latest version of Firefox (Version 93.0 64-bit) and installed it hoping that might reset some setting that got accidentally changed, but that did not fix the problem.

Maybe also check the settings of the Logitech SetPoint extension that shows in the troubleshooting information.

I am not having the issue with Edge or Chrome, so I will uninstall the mouse software, reinstall it, and see if that solves it. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Things appear to be working normally again. I did not actually uninstall and reinstall the mouse software. I will keep browsing and see if the problem arises again. I hope it does not, but for now, using my mouse for forward and back works normally.
