Firefox wont load/browse unless keyboard/mouse is active
Firefox last automatically updated for me the other day.
Since then when I open firefox, I can click on the desktop icon or the quick launch, in either case it seems like firefox never opens unless I click with my mouse or hit a key(s) on the keyboard, then it suddenly appears.
Firefox has a similar issue when browsing now, I can type in an address or click a link. But it sits their idle with the progress bar about half full like it has no connectivity, but the moment you move the mouse or push something on the keyboard, the web page starts loading properly.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? Will attempt to reinstall shortly and see if that resolves the issue.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== Last time firefox updated a day or two ago

Hello....
(RE: Windows XP SP3, Firefox update 3.6.6)
This has gotten borderline ridiculous....no, wait.....it is absolutely bloody ridiculous.
A couple of days ago the Firefox "plugin-container.exe started eating a massive amount of CPU, somewhere in the range of 95%.
I was related to the Adobe Flash and Shockwave Flash Plug in....when disabled it would crash flash based videos while watching and then refuse to reload them until the plugin was enabled. They was a ton of feedback on the CPU difficulties as related to the plugin-container.exe and its conflict with flash.
Then last night I got back and once I opened up Firefox I was immediately prompted to load the Firefox Update 3.6.6 which I did. Now I have a new problem........
When I am watching or try to load up flash based videos the videos will not play unless either my mouse or keyboard is active, by that I mean I will press play for the video and it seems to load up but will not play or run sound unless I sit there making little circles with my mouse...
Now I don't need some door knob telling me I have an internal "conflict" and to uninstall and reinstall a dozen or so programs.....this is simply a continuation of the original "plugin container.exe" crash bug and now it is in the guise of 3.6.6
This needs to be looked at quickly...
C'mon guys...get it together!!!!!!!
I reinstalled Firefox 3.6.6 and that fixed it for me.
