when left click drop down arrow and other items, dialog box constantly pops up instead of performing action. how can I turn it off, or must I uninstll mozilla?
When using mozilla for web searches, each time I click to correct a word or grammar a dialog box constantly comes up like a right click box asking if want to copy, cut correct spell etc. when I click to search at the magnifying glass another box keeps coming up. Seems like everything I left click when in mozilla springs up a dialog box. Pretty frustrating and does not happen when I use AOL search without mozilla. The right click box comes up as it should but need to lose this left click box or firefox. I already checked mouse touch pad properties and made sure R click main.

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
- In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on Help (or click on Help in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

Does this only happen if you use the touch pad or also when you use a real mouse?
You can try to set the dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled pref to 0 on the about:config page. After changing the preference, you must restart the browser for the changes to take effect.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
