This MAY be just a coincidence but since upgrading to OSX 10.11.4 and the latest version of Java (both done this week), my mouse pointer no longer aligns with the action. eg in this forum when the pointer is over 'New Post's menu item, the 'Articles' tab is highlighted. and in Hotmail.com the message highlighted is two lines above where the mouse pointer is. Only Firefox appears to be affected as this behaviour is not seen in Safari. Any clues as to how I can correct this?

I restarted Firefox several times and unloaded and reloaded the (very few) add-ons I have with no effect. I have also restarted OSX twice with no effect. I have just rebooted the mac ie physically switching off and on again after a pause (for a coffee break!) and lo and behold all is back to normal.
