Thank you.  It works!
I don't try to patch my xorg.  I just change "Protocol" from "IMPS/2"
to "ExplorerPS/2" in my xorg.conf, add "Buttons" option, and add
.Xmodmap by the way that page wrote.  With this three steps only, the
additional button works as back function in firefox AUTOMATICALLY.

Following is some part of my xorg.conf and .Xmodmap.
----- xorg.conf -----
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Buttons" "6"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
----- .Xmodmap -----
pointer = 1 2 3 6 4 5
