Fourth Mouse Button

["David R. Litwin" <presently42@gmail.com>]

My mouse has a button where my thumb is. This, in Windows, is used to
go back in a web-browser. In linux, it does not recognise this button.

So: How do I make it recognise the button; and how do I set it to go back in a web-browser?

Thank you in Advance.
