2. Move the mouse to move the pointer over the button immediately after as it's loading

Only the tab/button should open or close instead of "lagging" and doing this more than once.

Is this also reproducible in Firefox's safe-mode? This to rule out extension problems. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode_(Firefox)

Yes I also managed to make it happen a few times in safe mode too. It's quite hard to reproduce as it doesn't always do it, it seems to be when it has a lot to load on the page.

Sounds like you might have a dodgy mouse button :) Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
