How do I disable the back/forward buttons on my mouse in Firefox only, but retain the functions in windows overall?

I have a logitech performance mouse mx with some side buttons. In the software I have the "back" button set to act as a "Generic Button" so that I can use it as a push to talk in Ventrilo (separate application). If I am browsing the web with Firefox and I hit my push to talk I get immediately thrown back a page, I want to stop this from happening, but still be able to use the button in ventrilo as I want to. Any help would be appreciated.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Since I got my new mouse

Thanks! X-Mouse Button Control works great!

All I had to do was make a Window Profile for FireFox and tell it to disable button 4/5 signals to it. My TeamSpeak running in the background still picks up on button 4.
