hi, this question is filed under firefox for android, but a mouse probably isn't most commonly used on mobile systems. is this a question about firefox on desktop?

if so, multiple other affected users have reported that this was an issue caused by malware on their pc. please run a full scan of your system with the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner (both these security tools are free).
