When I load any webpage I cannot click on any of the content until I have minimized Firefox or used ctrl+alt+tab to navigate to another open window. When I switch back to Firefox the website will be active and all links and content can be used. This happens when a website is initial loaded or reloaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to any website
2. Click on any link  
Actual Results:  
Couldn't click on any links to external content or use any features of Firefox available through the toolbar.

Expected Results:  
It seems like Firefox is not recognizing links. After logging into gmail I cannot click on the "inbox," "compose mail", or any of the navigation items in the left hand side of the page. Additionally at that time I am not able to navigate back using the back arrow or navigate home using the home button. I cannot click to type inside of search fields. This happens at all websites.
What websites does this happen on? Is this only appearing that you can not click links, or can you not scroll, hover, etc? Have you tried in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode)?
=> incomplete due to no response and testing of safe mode
however, please comment with additional details if you still see a problem using the newest version of FF and gmail
