For some reason I can't click on anything within the top 1/4 of every webpage.

I am not able to click on anything on the top 1/4 of any webpage. The cursor won't even highlight anything when I move my mouse over it. This is only for Firefox. The mouse works perfectly fine for everything else. I opened Internet Explorer to see if it had the same issue and it did not. I know it is not something wrong with the mouse because when I had my mouse hovering on the top 1/4 of the web page I did a Synaptics Pointing Device Pressure Graph test and it registered whenever I tried to click. I tried to uninstall and re-install Firefox but it didn't do anything. This happened to me suddenly this morning. I did not install anything, there were no Firefox updates, or anything. I have no idea what could have caused this.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
