I have Friefox 17 and use Windows 7. I can't seem to click on all of the the links at the top of pages. Is anyone else having this issue? How to fix?

I updated to FF 17 and use Windows 7 on a 2 yr old Sony Vaio Laptop. Since updating, I cannot seem to click on certain links, most of which seem to be located at the top of web pages. I also have trouble using click and hold to scroll feature (on the side). It's very finicky about where on the sliding button I can click on to make it work. I have no problem using the up and down arrow buttons on the side though.
How to fix?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
