In the land of computers there is never a shortage of annoyances, issues, and problems. I have been having a weird one recently that has been beyond diagnosis, let alone solution.

In Firefox, the right mouse button stops working AND I am unable to click the menu bar at all. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. To further complicate diagnosis, it isn't just that I am running Firefox on Linux, but also as a virtual machine inside Oracle VirtualBox on Windows 7. So is it my mouse driver? VirtualBox's Hardware Abstraction Layer? Well, I still don't know but I did find a way to fix it every time it happens.

ALT-F10
That's it. Problem fixed. Alt-F10 seems to toggle full screen / windowed in Firefox. That's not something that should have anything to do with my mouse but for whatever reason it does. If you are suffering from intermittent mouse issues, try it. Hopefully my posting this will help someone else out with the same problems!
