cursor automatically moving to OK or SAVE options on menus. How to stop?

Okay, just updated to 9.0.1 (Vista 64bit home Premium), and I've found a problem-slash-feature which is proving rather annoying to me. When I right click and save an image, the save image window opens where I have to enter file names, browse to a save location, etc, and the mouse cursor automatically snaps to the SAVE button. Similarly when opening the options the mouse automatically snaps to OK. It's REALLY winding me up. I don't like it, I don't want it, it stinks, it smells, I can't see why it exists, it serves no purpose to me other than to torment me with its wickedness, and above all else I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF!!! Help me... Before I go even crazier with this...

Check the setting for the Mouse in the Control Panel.

Thanks for the help, but no go I'm afraid. Hadn't looked there, hence why I couldn't remember what this was called, but having looked there the snap to option is unchecked. It's only doing this in Firefox anyway. Maybe a corrupted update? Kind of at a loss. I'll uninstall and reinstall, see if that helps. Thanks again.

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).
