#Firefox not responding to mouse clicks drivers#
What may cause the problem? It is unlikely the drivers or modules for the mouse or touchpad, since clicking after switching to another user's session still works. But if I then switch back to the previous session of the original user, the problem remains. In that situtation, if I log into another user's session without logging out the current one, the problem doesn't exist in the other user's session. I can still move the cursor using my mouse or touchpad, and I can still use my keyboard to type any key and to switch to other application's window (via Alt + Tab). It is as if there were something else which is invisible, stands between the screen and the Firefox or other application's window, and steals clicks away. Sometimes, when I am using Firefox to browse webpages or some other applications, clicking ( left, right and middle) by my mouse or touchpad stops working.
