Can't seem to get the back and forward buttons of my mouse to work with Opera. The same buttons work with Safari, Firefox and even Finder. Any ideas?

Many thanks

VPN not connecting for me either

I noticed the latest beta update has not fixed this...does anyone know if this is fixed in the stable version?

@mgeffro Thank you, I understand

@m4ssacre Programming application specific worked for me...Vielen Danke. As for the German pictures, das macht nichts.

@dubhead I already did...see my reply to m4ssacre

Has anyone had issues playing video content.

With the exception of Youtube, most websites report an error of being unable to play the video, e.g. see screenshot showing website https://archive.org/details/Stingray.Complete/Stingray.01.+STINGRAY.avi.

I have confirmed this issue occurs in 62.0.3331.99. I have tried to play the content with and without the VPN enabled. The same errors occur in the Beta version 64.0.3388.0.

I’ve also tried installing extensions media player and media plus to test if there was a codec issue but neither extension helps.

@sgunhouse The post is 6 months old, and whilst I agree that my logitech trackball is working fine, I paid a premium for MX Master and MX Master 2 devices and I would rather use them than my trackball.

I've been on Catalina for months...I will investigate again and get back...glad it's working for you too

@albertchong I stand corrected everyone. This does indeed work. Thanks leononeill.

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

@tcar984 Glad to hear it worked for you

@leononeill said in Backward and forward buttons on Logitech Mouse not working with Opera:

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.

@albertchong Update although error still occurs with 63, it takes several hours before manifesting.

@albertchong As a workaround, I've decided to downgrade to Opera 63. HTH anyone with the same challenges

@eprog625 I sympathise. I've been using Opera since 1994.

@eprog625 Let's try to keep this positive. I agree that Opera haven't formally replied, and that is frustrating, however there is a good workaround.
