I don't like the mouse having a back function in firefox,I want to turn off the back and forward buttons on my mouse, or rather, Firefox's response to them. I am using Windows 7.

I hate losing forum posts to a tiny thumb twitch. The Back button has destroyed forum posts, emails, tech support questions, just about anything I type. I do NOT NEED a button on my mouse to go back on web pages. I use the button for it's other functions, in other programs, or I would MELT IT OFF MY MOUSE.

There should be an option somewhere to turn off that function in Firefox, but I cannot find it. All the documentation I have seen in this help file is pre-Windows 7.
