windows - I need a program that will do a mouse click on the Firefox browser

This question already has an answer here:
You can write a short autohotkey script to do the click, then create a shortcut or whatever to start autohotkey and run the script.
I'm using a Gigaware wireless optical mouse on Windows XP. After the mouse is inactive for about five minutes — keyboard activity doesn't matter — moving the mouse doesn't move the mouse pointer. Only after I click or right-click a button will the mouse "wake up" and start moving the pointer.
I checked the properties of the mouse in Device Manager, and the Mouse menu in Control Panel, but didn't see anything that could be responsible.
How can I make my mouse stay "awake" all the time?
This is probably a "feature" of the wireless mouse itself.
I have a wireless laptop mouse that does the same thing - it puts itself to sleep to save battery power, and it requires a click to wake it up.
Some ideas:
Check Device Manager / Mouse Properties / Details / Power State Mappings, to see if it's similar to this:
Then try to find in the software that came with your mouse if there is any reference to a Power-save mode that can be disabled.
If not, try to find a newer version of the driver on the manufacturer's site, that will maybe have a way to disable Power-save.
And lastly, as there are so many bad reviews for this mouse, buy another one.
