Recently, on some web pages, the arrow cursor doesn't become a pointing finger when placed over a link on a web page. Usually these are links at the top of the screen. If I try to right-click to open the link, the "open" is gray (inactive). For instance, on the current Firefox page, I cannot click on the Sign Out, Inbox, Other Applications, etc. I cannot click on the Search Firefox Help display.

However, I can click on the Features, Mobile, Add-ons, etc. at the bottom of the screen.

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

If that does not solve the problem:
