How to stop mouse button 5 from going "back"?
Mouse button 5 (one of the thumb buttons on my Logitech G500) by default sends a "back" command to my browser. I like to use this button as my push-to-talk button for voice programs and don't want it to keep jumping my browser back every time I press it. Is there a way to change this?

Why not use the Right-Alt button for press to talk.
There is no way I would give up my Back/Forward mouse buttons, nor the middle-click button which I have set to "Enter".

@dmcritchie: It's not comfortable for me to use right-alt, I would like to use mouse button 5. For all of Firefox's open-source-user-friendliness I'm sure there is an .ini file or something somewhere where I can edit this to my liking.
@cor-el: XMouseButtonControl isn't what I need. Logitech's drivers already have pretty extensive mouse button controls. The problem is that even though mouse button 5 is set to a generic button Firefox automatically assigns this generic button to the "back" command. I want to change Firefox so it doesn't.
You can use that program to disable mouse button 5 in Firefox.
