Firefox kills Dell touch pad
Every time I open Firefox and use my touch pad in the browser the touch pad stops working.

Hi,
If the touchpad has a Windows Start entry or a Control Panel applet, you can try to adjust its settings including sensitivity.
When using Firefox everything related to the Dell Synaptics touch pad no longer functions. I literally have to restart my computer to be able to use my touch pad again.
