Mouse is going crazy on online projects
I'm having a strange problem.
Online, projects work fine, except when the mouse is clicked. It seems to not recognized that the mouse was clicked at all, even on the green flag and stop sign. Keyboard pressing and mouse-following work properly. All other parts of the website work fine.
I am on Firefox. The problem isn't happening on Safari or on Firefox on the other computer in the house. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: Mouse is going crazy on online projects
That is weird... 
I guess I don't really have the exact answer, I've never heard of that problem. First I'd try the basic: Close and re-open Firefox. Log off, and log back on. Restart your computer. You could see if those work

Re: Mouse is going crazy on online projects
Does it work like that on any other Java applets on the web? Or just Scratch ones?
Or maybe it's only specific to this website - in which case, go to Scratch Resources, where I believe there is a clickable Scratch project. Does it work there?

Yep, the other Java Applets and the project on Scratch Resources work. It seems to be only clicking on sprites and the green flag and stop sign that doesn't work on the website- clicking on the background works fine.

Does clicking on the green flag in the Scratch Resources project work?

Did you try restarting your browser/computer?Yup, I did both. Oh well...
This may be a last resort, but you *could* try reinstalling Java...

Yeah, that might not be a bad idea, because I think I read about some problems with Firefox and Java messing up with some versions of Java. I'm not quite sure, as I read this quite a while ago.

You know, if it's to do with Firefox and Java only, it may be useful to try another browser. So you may wish to try doing that before reinstalling Java.
