Synaptics touchpad mouse now doesn't work after updating Firefox on netbook.

I updated from Firefox 3.6.X to Firefox 9.0.1.
Now my "mouse" (touchpad) does not work.
Hardware: Acer Aspire One 532h netbook.
OS: Windows 7 32-bit.
Touchpad: Synaptics PS/2 Compatible Mouse
I have done the following in the order listed to try to fix the problem (in between as required I have restarted the computer):
Updated the driver.
Rolled back the driver.
Adjusted the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) to 0.
Adjusted the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) to 1.
Returned the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) back to original value of -1.
Disabled the driver.
Removed the driver.
Downloaded from Synaptics and installed the driver.
Removed the new driver.
Downloaded from Acer and installed the driver.
Note that the Device Manager has always shown the driver/device to be working properly, but clearly it isn't.
The functionality of the mouse terminated after I updated Firefox. Nothing else was done to the netbook.

OK, so I am the only person that this has ever happened to. Awesome.
FWIW, I realize that updating Firefox should have ZERO impact on the touchpad driver. However, there was nothing else done to (or with) the netbook that could have caused this.
Freak coincidence? Any opinion is appreciated...

  • USB Mouse / Keyboard doesn't work after resuming from hibernate

    I am using a USB device that splits out to 2 PS2 ports, one for a mouse, one for a keyboard. It works great, but when I put my X61 into hibernate, the mouse and keyboard do not work when I resume from hibernate.
    I installed all the relevant patches and power manager drivers from the driver downloads page, but my mouse still doesn't work.
    Can someone point me to the correct download or shed some light on this?
    Thank you!

    I have this same problem with this same device. It is a "composite USB device".
    What I've notice is that the problem happens mostly with USB 1.1 ports. When the device is connected to a USB 2.0 port the problem doesn't happen always.
    It depends on the computer though. I added a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adaptor to my laptop that has USB 1.1 only. And when I connect the USB-to-PS/2 cable to the USB 2.0 my mouse sometimes work after suspend/hibernate but sometimes doesn't.
    However, on my other desktop computer, which has integrated USB 2.0 ports, this problem has never happened (I haven't tested it exhaustively though).
    This is a Windows bug of course. Everything related to USB 1.1 support is buggy in Windows. One more example is the annoying (and possibly catastrophic) "Delayed write error" that appears when you use a external hard drive plugged to a USB 1.1 port.
    I guess M$ is focusing their efforts on making USB 2.0 to work well and they have forgotten about USB 1.1. Or it could a problem related to "USB composite devices", hard to know.

  • ITunes doesn't work after update now! Says music files have been moved, would I like to locate them, then everything freezes.

    I need some help! I've spent hundreds of dollars on iTunes music and suddenly every time I click the "play" button the entire service just freezes and stops responding. The only way I can even get to a play button that doesn't freeze is through the iTunes store. But at that point when I click "play", it tells me the song can't be played because the file isn't in its original location. It asks me if I'd like to locate it, and if I click yes, it brings me to a screen that I can't do anything with. Nice update. It was just fine until now. What can I do to get my music back???

    "She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
    She is wrong.
    Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place.  It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

  • Widget doesn't work after updating to OSX 10.6.8

    After installing the latest batch of updates, my sudoku widget doesn't work anymore. Anyone else having a problem like this, or know how to fix it?
    I noticed on the website which created it that others are also having this problem in the last few days:
    http://briandeboer.com/posts/sudoku-20-approaching-beta-status/
    Thanks!

    Someone posted the following on the Sudoku widget website:
    "Just wanted to add to my previous post. This widget uses images “.png” files so the font issue has not affected it’s performance. After some digging I found WebKit2 was bundled with the latest Safari update (5.1 and 5.0.6). WebKit2 uses a whole bunch of new APIs rendering some old ones obsolete. My guess is as good as yours, but most likely the SudokuC controller inside the widget is referring to one of those obsolete APIs."
    Does anyone know what this means, and can explain it to someone, like myself, who is not a programmer?
    Also, does it seem like a relevant solution and/or cause of the problem?
    Thanks!
