I open firefox using keyboard shortcuts: open unity's dash, then type 
"fire" for firefox and then enter.

I did the log out and log in again after the mouse worked, so it was 
the the menu on the top right corner.

I recently realized that it starts working after I open Thunderbirdt, 
probably after I open any program the mouse works. Or maybe I just need 
to give it some time after I log in to make it work.
