I have tried both firefox and firefox-esr in both OpenBSD 5.8 and 5.9
and can say that there are issues with the mouse not picking up 10-15%
of my clicks, sometimes having to click a good 3 times or more for it
to actually work correctly! When I select and drag text, it can
randomly un-select it as if I have let go of the mouse and clicked
elsewhere.. Just all sorts of stangeness. I never have a problem with
moving the mouse cursor though. To say it's a nuisance is a bit of an
understatement as I am now having to use chromium - which I detest,
being a keen avoider of any google pish.
For extra info, I am using XFCE.
Does anyone have this issue? What is going on?
I have this exact same problem with Seamonkey using cwm(1) on a
ThinkPad T61. I've ran OpenBSD on this laptop for almost a decade now
and it's never had this issue before 5.8. It's really very annoying
but I've been living with it through 5.8, assuming it will be fixed in
5.9. Well I just upgraded to 5.9 the other day and was eager to see if
it was fixed, but it exhibits the same annoying behavior.
I don't know what to do or test. I run no ad-ons with Seamonkey.
Slightly off-topic, I can't see the selection problem reported above.
But I *can* confirm that upgrading (or making a fresh install rather) of
either 5.8 or 5.9 can be problematic.

@Nick: xfce and firefox-esr under 5.7 runs reasonably well. No patches,
though. In my case, chromium on 5.8 and 5.9 is a non-starter (almost
literally) disregarding the ethics. In about a third of the starts it
throws a "Use after free"-error:
