    Hello VMalinov,

    The issue comes from the fact that FireFox does not have default "event" variable in the JavaScript engine. So when calling:

    igmenu_showMenu(ctlFlagOffer_menuId, event);

    under FireFox, we are calling this function with NULL or very limited "event" bject.
    There are two approches here:

    1. Explicitly supply X and Y coordinates (calculated by your logic) in this way:
    igmenu_showMenu(ctlFlagOffer_menuId, null, x, y);

    2. This one will have limited applicability, but it will work in certain scenarios. The idea is to get the original browser's event when calling igmenu_showMenu(). For example, if you havea button (or a link) with "onclick" handler defined like that:

    <a href="#" onclick="myCustomFunction()" />
    and then you have your custom function, that calls igmenu_showMenu():

    function myCustomFunction()
    {
     // do my logic here ...
      igmenu_showMenu(var_with_id, event);
    }

    This should be changed to:

    <a href="#" onclick="myCustomFunction(event)" />

    function myCustomFunction(e)
    {
     // do my logic here ...
      igmenu_showMenu(var_with_id, e);
    }

    Now we have explicitly passed the original browser's event to our function, so we can pass it down to the igmenu_showMenu() function.

     

    Hope this helps.
