My mouse won't work with Firefox, ok with all else

I have been using Firefox for some time with no issues. This morning my mouse disappears when I am trying to use Firefox. It is fine with everything else including other browsers. I guess it is easier to just migrate to Google Chrome?

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5

Well, if you want to give up just like that, it's up to you. Or . . . .

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
