IE uses a non-standard events system including a global events object. Firefox on the other hand uses the DOM spec so this is invalid.

The various web development forums and newsgroups should be able to point you to code that can make things work in both browsers.

This is not a web development forum, this is for bug reports in Firefox. This is a duplicate of bug 54341. Since this has already been evaluated and determined to be invalid you should seek support either from the various web development forums on the web or from support forums specific to Mozilla at http://www.mozilla.org/support.
