Google Visualization table chart click and return row / column values not working in Mozilla browser

Question

I'm running into a problem with differences between Chrome and Mozilla browsers in the below code.

When you click on a cell the code returns the row / column clicked. It works fine in Chrome, but when I click a cell in Mozilla nothing happens.

I think it has something to do with this bit of code but I really don't know.

var selection = table.getChart().getSelection();
if (selection.length === 0)
  return;

var e = event || window.event;
var cell = e.target; //get selected cell

I am referencing this post from a few years ago. The code in this post works in Chrome works but not in Mozilla, you click and nothing happens.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20165281/google-chart-getselection-doesnt-have-column-property/33445620#33445620

Here's my full program. Any idea how to resolve the Chrome vs Mozilla conflict??

Thank you as always!

google's table chart produces a normal html <table>.

instead of using google's 'select' event,
we can assign a standard 'click' event to the table's <td> elements.

wait until the table chart's 'ready' event fires.
then assign click handler to the cells.

to get column index --> cell.cellIndex
to row index --> cell.closest('tr').rowIndex

google.visualization.events.addListener(table, 'ready', function() {
  var container = document.getElementById(table.getContainerId());
  Array.prototype.forEach.call(container.getElementsByTagName('TD'), function(cell) {
    cell.addEventListener('click', selectCell);
  });

  function selectCell(sender) {
    var cell = sender.target;
    var row = cell.closest('tr');
    document.getElementById('output1').innerHTML = "Row: " + (row.rowIndex - 1) + " Column: " + cell.cellIndex;

    //NEW additional requirements

    var tableDataView = table.getDataTable();

    var selectedRow = row.rowIndex - 1;  // adjust for header row (-1)
    var selectedCol = cell.cellIndex;

    document.getElementById('output2').innerHTML = "selectedRow: " + selectedRow + " selectedCol: " + selectedCol;

    var colID = tableDataView.getColumnId(selectedCol);
    var colLabel = tableDataView.getColumnLabel(selectedCol);

    document.getElementById('output3').innerHTML = "colID: " + colID + " colLabel: " + colLabel;
  }

});

see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
  'packages': ['corechart', 'table', 'gauge', 'controls', 'charteditor']
});

renderChart_onPageLoad();

function renderChart_onPageLoad() {
  google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
    drawTable();
  }); //END setOnLoadCallback
} //END function renderChart_onEvent

function drawTable() {
  var jsonArray = jsonDataArray_1to1(json);

  //Modify header row to include id and label
  jsonArray = arrayHeaderRow_id_label_date(jsonArray);
  console.log('jsonArray'); console.log(jsonArray);

  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(jsonArray, false); // 'false' means that the first row contains labels, not data.
  //console.log('data');
  //console.log(data);

  var dashboard = new google.visualization.Dashboard(document.getElementById('div_dashboard'));

  var categoryPicker1 = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
    'controlType': 'CategoryFilter',
    'containerId': 'div_categoryPicker1',
    'matchType': 'any',
    'options': {
      'filterColumnIndex': 0, //Column used in control
      'ui': {
        //'label': 'Actual State:',
        //'labelSeparator': ':',
        'labelStacking': 'vertical',
        'selectedValuesLayout': 'belowWrapping',
        'allowTyping': false,
        'allowMultiple': false,
        'allowNone': true
      }
    }
  });

  var table = new google.visualization.ChartWrapper({
    chartType: 'Table',
    containerId: 'div_table',
    options: {
      allowHtml: true
    }
  });

  dashboard.bind([categoryPicker1], [table]);
  dashboard.draw(data);

  google.visualization.events.addListener(table, 'ready', function() {
    var container = document.getElementById(table.getContainerId());
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(container.getElementsByTagName('TD'), function(cell) {
      cell.addEventListener('click', selectCell);
    });

    function selectCell(sender) {
      var cell = sender.target;
