I cannot reproduce with
latest development build, can you?
Does it happen also if you disable every extension except NoScript?

I don't agree with "RESOLVED,INVALID"
Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-08-05) and NoScript 2.1.2.6rc4.
AdBlockPlus and Ubuntu extensions disabled.
Fresh browser, go to news.google.com and mouse pointer moves, but firefox otherwise unresponsive to all clicks, scroll wheel, elevator bar, cursor doesn't change when hovering over links. Firefox menus all dead. Only thing that works is the "close" button.
Disable noscript and then news.google.com operates. Lots of pop-up previews when you hover, which seems to be what it is that is new at google news.

OK, I could reproduce by selecting "U.S." as the news source (couldn't with my default, Italy), so I suppose it's triggered by this new preview feature which is offered in some regions only, it seems.
Investigating...
