In my case, it is only left clicks that don't work. I usually get this
while editing text on the Gmail or Daily Kos Web sites. I will have some
text partially selected with click and drag, but I cannot click to
finish the selection, nor can I left click anywhere else, including
toobars, scroll bars, any other text box, other applications, and so on.
I can change the starting point of the selection with the cursor keys.
The right click menus continue to work.

A partial workaround is to use the keyboard to copy what I am working on
elsewhere (ctl-a, ctl-c, move to an editor, ctl-v) and then close
Fireox. I can use the mouse to position the selection on a right-click
menu, and press Return to make the selection. This is enough to let me
save what I am doing and stop Firefox with Alt-F4. Sometimes the mouse
starts to behave normally after that, and sometimes I have to reboot
with ctl-alt-del, position cursor on shutdown or restart, return.
