Detailed description:

I took code from this showcase:
http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCellTree
and I changed file ContactTreeViewModel.java

List<HasCell<ContactInfo, ?>> hasCells = new ArrayList<HasCell<ContactInfo, ?>>();
    hasCells.add(new HasCell<ContactInfo, Boolean>() {

      private CheckboxCell cell = new CheckboxCell(true, false);

      public Cell<Boolean> getCell() {
        return cell;
      }

      public FieldUpdater<ContactInfo, Boolean> getFieldUpdater() {
        return new FieldUpdater<ContactInfo, Boolean>() {
                     @Override
                    public void update(int index, ContactInfo object,
                            Boolean value) {
                        Window.alert("TEST"); // <----- firefox = nothing happens; never see alert dialog
box. chrome = it's works OK.

             }
        };
      }

      public Boolean getValue(ContactInfo object) {
        return selectionModel.isSelected(object);
      }
    });

More simple workaround would be adding the following line to cell container init:
grid.sinkEvents(Event.ONCHANGE);

Simplest Solution is to modify the CheckBoxCell
private CheckboxCell cell = new CheckboxCell(true, true);
I spent 4 hours debugging the issue. And this is what I deciphered. It works like a
charm

I'm not sure about the side effect of utilizing cell = new CheckboxCell(true, true);

but It resolved my issue. 

Thanks a million
