Minimize window key assignment of M570 trackball works for everything but Firefox

more options

I have a Logitech M570 trackball attached to a Windows 10 PC. The Logitech SetPoint software allows users to customize the action of the buttons. The scroll wheel can also be clicked and have a function assigned to that click. I assigned "minimize" to it, and this works with every app and utility *except* Firefox. It even minimizes a Thunderbird window. I have the latest version of both Firefox and SetPoint. Anybody have an idea why this is happening and any way I can get it to work? Thank you!

Does it work in other browsers? I know browsers detect middle clicks in a strange way, where they basically "see" a click that isn't a left click or a right click so its "assumed" to be a middle click, which could be interfering. If its working with other browsers, could be bug worthy.

Yes, it works with Microsoft Edge. I know I didn't specifically say that, but I did say "every app and utility".
