I cannot click on the tabs/buttons at the top of the page, below the search bar. If I move it down I can click on it, but anything moved into that space below the search bar will not respond. How can I fix this?

Just below the search bar is a space of about 1.5 inches in which I cannot click on any of the buttons. I can click in other areas of the window. If I scroll down and other parts of the page enter this area I cannot click on them either. I have checked to see if this is also a problem in Internet Explorer and it is not. It is not my computer that is the problem. I have no problem clicking on anything when I am not in Mozilla. I have tried restarting my computer and clearing the cache. Nothing I am trying helps.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the 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 Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
