JavaScript code that works under IE-9 and Chrome-16, but not under Firefox-9.0.1:

var slides = []; slides[0] = new Image(); slides[0].src = fileNames[0];

var tmp = slides[0].complete;

  slides[0].onerror = function(){
                         alert("While downloading\n"+
                                "           " +fileNames[0]+
                                "\nerror occurred. Execution stops");
                         throw new Error("Network problem");
                      };
  alert("X " + tmp);
  alert("Y ");
  slides[0].onload  = function(){
                        alert(this.complete);
                         if (winStarted) winStart()
                         else window.onload = winStart;
                     };

The alerts "X" and "Y" give output, but the onload branch is not taken. Onload branch is taken under IE-9 and Chrome 16.0.912.63.

There seems to be an onload for XUL images, but I can not find it for html images.

Maybe you can use element.addEventListener instead. Something like:
s.myonload = function ....
s.addEventListener("load",s.myonload,false);
s.src = ...
