1. I think I did know the answer once upon a time, but I can't be sure 
now. I think, personally, there is no difference. When I actually still 
'assign' a function to anything it's mostly something used internally in 
an object, more along the lines of:
function a() {
    this.b = function() {
    }
}
Though, I can't recall the last time I did that, I'm quite comfortable 
using .prototype(that's not the library!) to tie functions to an object.

2. On a hunch I would say that IE and chrome are using the built-in 
click-events from windows, or at least use the same underlying 
principle: Mouseclick==mousedown+mouseup without moving. Firefox uses a 
different principle: Mouseclick==mousedown+mouseup occurring on the same 
element. Although there's a reasonable chance using a framework might 
solve this for you, I would hazard to say that you should not be 
awaiting a mouseclick, instead react on a mouseup. But then, that's only 
an educated guess, you might have a good reason for waiting on the click 
instead :)
Oh, and of course this is based on the assumption that you moved your 
mouse between clicks, I sorta recall similar issues from way-back-when I 
was still using a lot of javascripty things :)

Cheers,
