Answer 1

Well, it looks like a known Firefox bug, which leads to following link on checkbox click regardless of handlers' code. As a bit dirty workaround one can use:

var checkbox = $('');
checkbox.prependTo($('#a'));
checkbox.click(function(e) {
    setTimeout(function() { checkbox.prop('checked', !checkbox.prop('checked')); }, 10);       
    // do something useful on clicking checkbox and but not surrounding link
    return false;
});
