Map mouse buttons to Firefox history back/forward

How would I go about mapping mouse "button 6" and "button 7" (as reported by xev) to Firefox history back/forward?

You can use Xbindkeys.
In .xbindkeysrc you should put  something like that

"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x0 + b:9
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x0 + b:8
