[jQuery] Binding a Click Event to Anchor Tag

I used to be able to do this:

$("a").click(function(){
   alert("test");
   return false;
});

<a href="#">test</a>

It no longer works in Firefox. I read some other posts that seem to be
discussing the same thing, but nothing definitive. Bind does not work
either. However, if I change click to mouseover, then it works.
Suggestions?

Thanks.
