I use a program called JoyToKey (http://www-en.jtksoft.net/) which allows me to use a gamepad (I use an Xbox 360 gamepad) to emulate mouse movements. I have a medical condition which makes it painful to use an actual mouse, so using a gamepad is the only way I can comfortably and quickly use an Internet browser. After Firefox recently updated to version 6.0.2, it no longer recognizes my gamepad joystick input. Whenever the Firefox window has focus, the cursor does not move when I move the joystick.

I believe this is some kind of security measure to ensure that all actions are coming from the physical mouse and not from a malicious third party, because Windows has the same feature when the User Account Control dialog is activated - only the actual mouse will work with it, my controller will not. If it is a security measure then it is an appreciated effort, but, sadly, in my case it is actually more harmful than helpful. Any workarounds for this will be greatly welcomed. Thanks for your time.

I can't help you with that software in particular but I suggest you to try Xpadder, I also have the microsoft xbox 360 gamepad and it works as far as I know

It seems it has started working on its own again, I'm not sure what I did. Thanks for the reply, lg90. :)
