[ubuntu-us-mi] Oh Wait... Mice Still Not Working

[gib at juno.com]

Process of elimination. Try other software to find conditions that may reveal the root cause.  Perhaps another browser, other editors . . .  try a wired mouse if you have one. 

Bring it to the "mdlug.org" meeting Saturday.

I surfed with Firefox for a few minutes, and the mouse stopped
working. I ran updates a second time, and it went through another
download and install process. I restarted, and the mouse was working
again. Again I surfed with Firefox for a few minutes, and the mouse
stopped working. Now there are no more updates to be had. Could it be
Firefox?
