Why is event.clientX incorrectly showing as 0 in firefox for dragend event?

The alert from dragend is showing mouseX as zero no matter where it is currently. This works fine in Chrome so not sure what I'm doing wrong.

function move(e,obj,but){
    if(typeof(obj) === 'string'){
        obj = document.getElementById(obj) ;
    }
    
    if(typeof(but) === 'string'){
        but = document.getElementById(but) ;
    }

    //elementCoord(but) ;//get the current coords of the button &
    elementCoord(obj) ;//the container
    
    e = e || window.event ;
    var mouseX = e.clientX ;
    var mouseY = e.clientY ;
            
    //alert('mouseX='+mouseX+', but.XCoord '+but.XCoord) ;
    var diffX = Math.abs(obj.XCoord - mouseX) ;
    var diffY = Math.abs(obj.YCoord - mouseY) ;
    
    but.addEventListener("dragend",function(evt){
        evt = evt || window.event ;
        mouseX = evt.clientX ;
        mouseY = evt.clientY ;
        obj.style.left = mouseX - diffX + 'px';
        obj.style.top = mouseY - diffY + 'px';
        alert('mouseX='+mouseX+' diffX='+diffX) ;
        }
    ,false) ;
    
}

Forgot to mention, elementCoord just gets the offset of an object adding it as a property. It works fine in all browsers.
