AW.UI.LINK not working with FF

I am running into an issue where AW.UI.LINK is not working. It seems the myLinkFunction is not firing on onclick and I don't get the hand to appear... Is there something I am missing here?

var myLink = new AW.UI.Link;
myLink.setId("myLink");
myLink.setEvent("onclick", myLinkFunction);
myLink.lenderPageForwardLink.setControlText("Next >");
myLink.setControlTooltip("Page to the next 200 Companies");
myLink.setControlLink("javascript:;");


function myLinkFunction(ev)
{
var element = ev.srcElement || ev.target;

alert("Hello");

return (ev.returnValue=false);
}
