logitech mx518 mouse, not mapping mouse4/5 buttons correctly

hi, a new switcher here

when i plug in my logitech mx518 mouse into the aluminum macbook, i want the mouse4 and mouse5 buttons to perform back and forward commands in browsers/finder similar to how the 3-finger swipe works. however, in safari/finder the mouse4/5 buttons appear to do nothing and in firefox the mouse4/5 activate the vertical scrolling mode

is there a way to remap these keys? preferably just by configuring osx/safari/firefox and without installing additional software

thanks
