Well, now we know that something you have installed on your machine is 
causing the problem.

1. Why did you reboot?
2. Do you have ANYTHING in your System Preferences panel that is not OS 
standard?

I am pretty certain that Mozilla is not to blame ... anything you 
downloaded that performs any system-augmenting functions? FruitMenu? 
TinkerTool? Anything that could be called a "haxie"?

Do you run Classic in the background? Have you reset the extensions in 
Classic to "base"?

No, but you DO need to do a little detective work. Open Process Viewer 
and see if there isn't something running that you don't recognise. Look 
over your system pref folder and your Login Items folder and see if the 
third-party culprit isn't there.
