I just got a new mouse recently with a few extra buttons on it (MOUSE4/MOUSE5). I like to use MOUSE4 as my push to talk hotkey in Discord, but Firefox also has MOUSE4 bound to go forwards a page, and MOUSE5 bound to go back a page. Is there a way to remove the bind from Firefox? Thanks.

hey, you can probably tweka it like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named mousebutton.4th.enabled + mousebutton.5th.enabled. double-click them and change their value to false.
