Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have the problem that after using firefox my mouse stops working correctly in my gnome session. Sometimes a right click on the desktop will get the mouse to start working again but it if it does it will normally only allow one more left click before it reverts to it's incorrect functionality mode.

When the mouse is not working it will do one of these things:

* Not register (or appear to at least) a left mouse click
* bring up the last window I was working in, if I click again it will send that window to the background. More generally, its as if the computer assumes I'm trying to click on some location that my mouse is no longer on.

Killing the x-window session with alt+backspace does not clear up the problem. Restart does.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
