My touchpad decided not to work the past few days. Or rather, the pad is fine, but the buttons won't operate. I plugged in an external mouse and that worked fine for a day, but now it's starting to flip the same way: no double-clicking allowed, no selecting from drop-down menus, etc. I try and try to Google search, but no one seems to have the problem of both acting up. If they plug in an external mouse things seem to work fine for them. Has anyone else had the problem of neither thing working? The touchpad buttons are dead completely right now. Judging from that, the mouse will probably be dead before long too.
HELP!
EDIT: I notice that it seems like at least some of the time when I have these problems, Plugin Container is running. I'm supposing that's Firefox's Plugin Container. If I disable that, though, isn't it true that I won't be able to play Adobe Flash videos? Gah, isn't there some way out of this where I can have my videos and my mouse/touchpad too? I never had this problem before a week or so ago, so if it is Plugin Container it must be that it's really screwed up on Firefox 11. And I hate Internet Explorer and don't trust it. Chrome uses Plugin Container too. What's left?
