I will need to try the solutions you mentioned above later, at the moment on my wifes laptop...and not sure how anyone is productive using a laptop without a mouse...it feels like I have 2 left hands.
do you remember the name? If you don't, check out your AV logs, there's probably a way to fix it, maybe you have something in the extensions folder like ottopottomouse said (if so, I know what you probably have).

Also, you can try this: zip the extensions folder (just in case) and save it anywhere you want. Delete everything inside it (just not the folder itself) and see what happens. If it's gone, the worse that could happen is that you'll need to reinstall some extension. If not, just save your profile files and delete everything related to FF: program, profiles, everything. Do not let anything. Then do a clean install. With this, I'd bet 90% of chances the problem will be gone. If the problem persists, then it's more complicated and you have something else and you'll need to edit the registry, but without more info, hard to say. Anyway, try that and let us know
