Take a look at imwheel. It's a little unmaintained but it still works. I've used it on an old MX1000 and my current PreformanceMX. You can set mouse buttons on a per window/program basis to have different effects for whichever window has focus. Thus "search" for Firefox and "paste" for Thunderbird. You also might need lomoco to turn on the button. I remember with my MX1000, I had to enable the two scroll wheels as buttons. Otherwise they were used by the mouse to "scroll fast" which I found pretty useless.
