Unable to simulate ClickItem in Firefox or Edge

When I record as script, it records as clickItem("ABC"), however when replaying that action Firefox is unable to click it. However Chrome has no issue. Has anyone ever had this issue?

Interesting... this almost sounds like a timing issue... I've seen things like this before even in IE where a component is basically "ready" to be clicked but, for whatever reason, the browser hasn't fully rendered the control in such a way that clicking on it actually works.

Just as an experiment... if you add a hardcoded delay of 5000 ms before you attempt the click item, what happens?

Yes I have tried that already, no dice.
I have generated two reports as shown below. Each report has a delay(5000) before clicking on the Item in question.

The report says it is being clicked, but it isn't actually being clicked.
In the first image, this was performed with Firefox. As you can see the action was recorded as successful. But the result says other wise. Yes manually clicking in firefox and edge work.
