Yes i have the latest drivers, the problem did not occur with the previous version of firefox or with internet explorer. It started after i upgraded to firefox 4
Does it make any difference if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Rabi, is the current bug still an issue with recent versions of Firefox / adapter drivers?
Thomas, I have not faced the issue after updating fire-fox to version 7.01 and later versions.
