Whenever I switch to another useer in XP and back the middle mouse button scroll
dtops working. Wheel scroll still works, but clicking it which should bring up
the scroll icon (moving the mouse scrolls the page) does not work anymore. It
still works in all other applications, though. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox
2. switch user (start -> log off... -> switch user)
3. switch back
4. try the middle mouse button in firefox by clicking it
5. try it in another program

Actual Results:  
the middle mouse button does not work anymore, only wheel scroll

Expected Results:  
provide a scroll icon to scroll the page in the direction where the mouse is.

I am using Logitech mouse software.

*Ouch*, I cannot reproduce the problem anymore in the way I described. 
I thought the user switching was the cause for the bug, which wasn't. 

It seems to have something to do with the Logitech mouse software, but affects
Firefox only; it has occurred on multiple windows XP installations. 

When I find out why the middle mouse button function stops (also middleclicking
on tabs, also after restarting the browser, happens in firefox only) I'll submit
a new bugreport (if it's firefox related). Sorry for this false report.
