This is probably not what your client wants to hear but the question has to be asked. Isn't Firefox popup blocker there for a reason? When blocking is active there is a message when a popup is attempted. Users have the choice to block or not, or to white-list your popups. I recommend allowing them

Hi Vlado, It looks like your button is probably on the timeline rather than make instantiated with code. Make sure your button exists before you do the addEventListener() on frame 25. Also, do you maybe have a key frame in the button layer at frame 65? If so, each key frame creates a new instance
