In firefox, event isn't global. window.event is undefined. You need to pass the event as a parameter. And by the way, you should use .on instead of .live if you use jQuery >= 1.7.

$('.decimalValidate').live('keypress', function (e) {
    var decimalid = $(this).attr("id");
    var decimalval = $('#' + decimalid).val();
    var decimalvalidate = ApplyDecimalFilter(decimalval, e);
    if (decimalvalidate == false) return false;
});

function ApplyDecimalFilter(id, event) {
    try {
        return NewDecimalFilter(id, event);

    } catch (e) {
        alert(e.message);
    }
}
