The only workaround I found successful is to move the mouse cursor to the far edge of the screen (to get a window resize cursor) and only then backward and forward buttons are working.

That's my experience too. It's the only workaround I've found. I really wish they'd fix this because I do prefer Opera to Chrome for many reasons.

Environment: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 with a non-Logitech mouse.

Hi guys...I had similar problems with my MX Master buttons behaving eratically / sometimes working, sometimes not, if certain apps or combination of apps were open. The solution, I found on another forum, was to allow Logitech Options to control my computer in System Preferences - Security and Privacy - Privacy - Accesibility. Just add the app to the list of apps that you allow to control your machine. This solved the problem immediately for me and lots of others. Hope this helps

Unfortunately I already had this setting configured and had to resort to programming the buttons separately as a solution.

For me, this issue got resolved when I upgraded to macOS Catalina. It could be that some of the system-wide configs were changed in the process...

I, too upgraded to macOS Catalina 10.15.2.
I removed the application specific settings in Logitech Options application which did not change the behaviour, aka it's working without the workaround.

Accessibility is ON for

• Logi Options Deamon
• Logi Options

@albertchong Great i’m delighted it worked. It absolutely wrecked my head for years, I only found out about it recently.

@leononeill I just wish Logitech had been more responsible and had provided a link to the other forum.
