This won't be of direct help to you, Karthik, but I've been seeing this
same problem running Firefox 1.5.0.6 (the current version for all
platforms, according to Firefox ... I assume you meant to write 1.5.0.1
so are a bit back) on my Windows 2000 workstation.
In my case, the additional details are that the mouse continues to work
for a bit, at least for moving the pointer, though I can't get anything
to respond to clicks. After a few clicks, the machine becomes totally
unresponsive at the UI (though I haven't checked response over the LAN)
and requires a power-cycle reset) ... I've surmised that the event queue
gets filled up because Firefox is not responding to mouse events.
I only mention it because of the possibility that we're both seeing a
Firefox problem, once that is platform independent but associated with
relatively recent versions of Firefox.
