   Have you tried a new mouse?  It is possible you know.  Recently I had mouse   
   problems after I upgraded FireFox, I thought all my problem were caused by   
   the new upgrade.  Only after a week did I notice that I was also getting   
   lockups even if I never started Firefox!   Changed my mouse and now I have   
   fewer lockup with Firefox and none if only other software.  I think is   
   because I dropped the old mouse alot.
