Firebug Causes Mouse 'Back' Button to Stop Working

[RoyReed]

If I use Firebug 1.10.3 (in Firefox 15.0.1) to examine a website, the 'back' button on my Logitech M705 mouse will no longer work for that browser session. I don't remember this happening with earlier Firefox/Firebug combinations. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Sorry - should have mentioned Win7Pro64.

I haven't heard about such problem.

Does the back button (on Firefox toolbar) work?

Does it happen if you create a fresh Firefox profile?
1) without Firebug
2) with Firebug installed

Yes, the 'back' button on the toolbar works correctly.

With a new profile without Firebug the mouse 'back' button works correctly, with Firebug the mouse 'back' button doesn't work.

I've checked that I have the latest Logitech mouse driver.

Could you check Firefox Error Console?
Do you see any suspicious errors?

Could you also check FBTrace (Firebug logging Console)

Install from here:
https://getfirebug.com/releases/fbtrace/1.10/fbTrace-1.10.0.xpi

Open from Firebug (icon) menu: "Open Firebug Tracing"
Check ERRORS option (in the Options tab)
and repeat your test.
Do you see any errors?

Well I've just had the update for FB to 1.10.4 and everything's now working OK, so whatever was changed in the update has fixed my problem.
