Dear Mike,

I still have problems with my Cordless USB mouse too, while under 
Winders pushing the button on the receiver and resetting the mouse 
itself with a small red button (on logitech) will always do the trick on 
Microsoft, it is not a Mozilla problem.

With Fedora I just reboot one or two times and that does it, it seems 
that the usb/mouse driver is essentially oke, but that there is 
something with the hardware timing still, I still have 3 weeks before I 
go en route with my 4 pipes CB750K american model with miles speedo, but 
without cruisecontrol ;-) , so I might have the time to look again at 
the problem and come up with a bugzilla report.

Yours,
