Just a hunch, perhaps he means that he cannot use keyboard shortcuts
occasionally, especially after clicking in something that uses
flash...
If this is the case, click elsewhere on the page, or in somewhere like
on the tab, or address bar, or search bar, or...
Then try the keboard shortcut.

Of course, this is just a guess on my part :P

I don't think that's it. I had the same problem on Netgrocer's webpage. There is a whole page of grocery items listed each with a BUY button. But if I click on ONE, then none of the other buttons work until I reload the page. Have to do this every time I BUY one item. I think that's what we are talking about here. Would LOVE to hear the fix on this one. Using FF 2.

No, it is a problem either with the sites you visit or with the
Internet connection you are using.

I've noticed this since upgrading to 2.0.0.14

On some pages - and I haven't yet spotted a pattern - once one button
has been clicked (such as an "Add to Cart" button or similar) then the
next button won't click.

However, I've found that RIGHT-clicking on the button, and then LEFT-
clicking will somehow get FF to recognize the click. Just make sure you
LEFT-click outside the RIGHT-click's popup menu...

I thought this must have been a quirk of my system, or my mouse getting
old, but given that others are having similar problems, I wonder if it
is FF?

The only addon I can think of that affects mouse clicks is Mouse
Gestures, which I have installed. The problem isn't consistent enough
to disable that addon then just try a few buttons. Meybe it's a
compbination of the script on the page with either FF or Mouse Gestures?

Does anyone else who has this oddity also have Mouse Gestures installed?
If not, then it can be ruled out.

Well, I have the same problem and I DON'T have Mouse Gestures. Very few add-on's. Roboform, Gbookmarks, Google Toolbar, StumbleUpon, The Weather Channel, ABP, and McAfee Site Advisor. So, you have any of those in common? Running under Vista HP SP1 on a HP DV9500CTO. Other than FF2, do we have anything else in common? It appears to be unique to just some WebPages. I get it on Netgrocer, but I don't get it on GrocerExpress or Amazon, etc. I hadn't found that work-around about the right-click. Nice to know. Much easier than a reload and faster. Thanks.

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem and so does my Dad - both
using Firefox, completely different connections. This is a problem
that has only recently occurred. It seems to happen most on google and
google maps. I search for a location and then change the search entry
and press enter or click 'search' and nothing happens. I have to
reload the page in order for it to work. I've reinstalled Firefox and
the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I don't have any other ideas. At least you have made mention of
where the problem occurs. I regularly use Google and Google Maps
without any occurrence like you describe. I hope that someone else has
some suggestions.

You are confident that it is not a slow internet connection or
firewall problem? To me, it sounds like the page isn't fully loaded,
though you may see the page displayed it sounds as if there are some
client side scripts that haven't loaded, or that the connection is
interrupted.

Google Maps makes extensive use of JavaScripts and there is a version
of Google Maps that does not use client-side java scripts. Under Tools-
>Options->Content there are checkboxes for Enable JavaScript and
Enable Java. Maybe your Java Runtime Environment is out of whack? Did
you ever at anytime install FireFox 3, because the JRE update 10 for
FF 3 is not compatible with FF 2. It's just a shot in the dark.

Bob - the only Addon we have in common is Stumbleupon. And I doubt that
it would be responsible!

I still haven't found any pattern to the sites that have this problem,
or even if the same site maintains the problem constantly after a reboot
and reload.

I'll keep checking.

Anyone else with the problem? Is it a real problem? Or is it just
imagination?

I've not experienced it myself.

The first step, I would think, would be to find a site where it is
reproducible, then try the steps listed here:
