Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - Firefox 2 is not cancelling in Prototype.js Scriptaculous

I have a sortable ul via scriptaculous, which uses prototype.js 1.6.

The ul''s contain <a href to photos
In IE: if you click on a photo and drag, the drag happens and it
cancels the <a href
In Firefox: the drag happens, but the <a also happens.

It appears that IE is canceling correctly, and FF is not.

I set up an example...Yes there is a JS error on load that you just
bypass.
http://www.connexion.org/scriptaculous/dragdroptest.cfm

It seems to me that the issue lies in prototype.js -->
stop:function(event) --> Event.extend=(function() {

  } else {
    Event.prototype = Event.prototype ||
document.createEvent("HTMLEvents").__proto__;
    Object.extend(Event.prototype, methods);
    return Prototype.K;
  }

It appears to me that for the ie case the methods are being set
correctly as far as cancelBubble/returnValue... FF apparenly needs
preventDefault
