Horizontal scrolling to go back and forth does not work

When I am in a browser (I have tested this with Safari, Firefox and Brave browsers), I can't scroll horizontally on the trackpad to go back a page or forward a page. This feature always worked and broke only recently (as far as I can tell it might have broken when I connected my Logitech MX master 3 mouse to the mac). Please tell me how to fix this as it's very annoying to have to click the "back" button on the top of the browser every time.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

I fixed it by going to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures and ticking "Swipe Between Pages". I guess connecting the Logitech mouse had turned it off.
