The comportament of Firefox is similar in Internet Explorer 6, and Opera 9.63 whitch I presume it is correct one.

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 an it gives <div> and <button> events while Firefox Nightly 105 only does <button> event. While Chrome Canary 106 matches with Safari here.

I am not sure on web-spec so I would leave the team to decide whether it is something which needs to be aligned with Firefox or Firefox need to change the behavior. Thanks!
