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!

I just retested it after quite a while. *** Safari 18.1 Beta *** Clicked - dialog 'button' *** Chrome Canary 131 *** Clicked - dialog 'button' *** Firefox Nightly 133 *** Clicked - dialog 'button' ___ It seems that now all browsers are aligned and have same behavior. Something might be changed during last testing with Safari 15.6 and now. I am marking this as 'Configuration Changed', please reopen, if it is still reproducing or something tested wrong.
