I can't access menu items, nor use mouse right click

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden I cant use the mouse to access the menu items, nor use the right click menus. I can click on button and links with the left button, but right clicking on a link does not bring up the usual menu. I recall this happening in the past, but an exit and restart of the program cleared it up. Reboot are not fixing the problem, nor reinstallation ( after removal).

It seems it could be a profile corruption issue, but not quite!

I was having the same issue (I'm running Lucid Lynx) and after starting Firefox with the -profilemanager option and using the default profile, I was able to access the menu items and get a right-click options menu. I then shutdown Firefox and restarted with my regular profile and it is now working just fine!

A little weird, but hey, I can access the menu items as per normal.

FYI: I had to purge and reinstall Adobe Flashplugin just yesterday then today I got this problem soon after one application crashed in Wine - not sure if all these things are related though!

Ciao, ak.

I don't know what happened exactly, but I had this same problem. I decided to run TOR to see if I would have the same issues there. When I ran it, I found that I was able to click menu items and right-click. After I shut TOR down, I went back to plain old firefox, and the problem was no longer present. Hopefully the same mojo will work for you!
