Cursor not changing to hand on a few sites...
There are a few websites where I have an intermittent problem problem with certain links that are normally clickable not changing my mouse cursor to the 'hand' when I hover over them. This has happened on Facebook, Grooveshark and a couple of others. Please note this doesn't happen EVERY time, but when it does it's always the same links, and always in the top left hand side of my screen.
Weirdly, the problem solves itself it I momentarily click away from that page (eg. open a new tab, then go back).
Any ideas anybody? I'm just wondering if it's my computer or Firefox that's the problem!

I tried safe mode and now Firefox won't even open when I double click the icon on my desktop. When I switched to safe mode it asked if I wanted to restart Firefox and I said OK, but it didn't restart. Then when I tried to open it from the desktop icon it wouldn't open.
That could be because the previous instance hasn't closed yet. You can try to End Process firefox in the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) Processes tab.
Yes I have managed to open it now! Running in safe mode, I will monitor the situation and see if the problem arises. If the problem is solved in safe mode, what can I do to make it permanent?
Safe mode is a temporary diagnostic feature of Firefox. You can exit it anytime and start Firefox normally again. Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings can be also manually toggled/changed to isolate the cause after starting Firefox in normal mode.
That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
