I don't have a complete solution but I have a short term "bandage".

If you are having trouble on a web page with mouse button "dead spots" (Mine effectively covers the whole width of the screen as if it was a Menu Bar below the others) use F11 to restore full functionality while ever you are in full screen mode then, restore to normal using F11 again. This works for me until Mozilla respond with a solution. Like other users my Mictrosoft Explorer does not exhibit the same problem,.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy! I disabled Babylon and it fixed the problem right up. Seems like Firefox should make it a little easier to find the fix!
