[CentOS] firefox always goes to tw/youtube.com
Hello list, I'm sure this is something simple I'm missing. On CentOS 4.6 fully updated, stock Firefox, if I type in http://www.youtube.com in the address bar it always goes to http://tw.youtube.com and has the encoding all messed up. Same happens if I click on any link to youtube. SeaMonkey does not display the same symptoms and works correctly. firefox-1.5.0.12-0.10.el4.centos.i386 Can someone help me get this fixed?

[CentOS] Wireless mouse problem
Hello all, Just for kicks I plugged in a Microsoft wireless optical desktop 1000 keyboard/mouse combo into my Centos 4.5 machine. It recognized it on boot and configured it and it mostly works good. The issue is with the mouse, when I hold it over a folder on my desktop for a second or so it grabs the folder and opens a small menu as if I was using my middle button on my Logitech. All this happens without me touching a button. It also opens links in firefox (seemingly at random) and brings background windows to the front as soon as the cursor touches them. I know it's probably my punishment for using something with that name on it, but I really didn't expect it to work as well as it does. Does anyone have any ideas of config files or any other things I could try to get this working better. It is a USB keyboard/mouse with a single receiver, and the machine is fully updated.
