I had the same idea of the function being called before the DOM was loaded, so I tried moving the js to the head as opposed to the end of the body to see if that mattered...didn't help.
I think something is going on with Firefox when trying to get it to include some of the js files. First, updates weren't appearing quickly when edited files were FTP'd to the server and then I noticed that some of the files weren't even listed in Firefox when I attempted to make sure they were being read when viewing the "Script" tab. I had to restart Firefox and sometimes make minor changes like adding a space to get a file to be read by the browser. I guarantee you it's not the first time I've had "quirkiness" when working with a lot of js, ajax, and cf together. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, to the browser they are identical. Is it possible that you are calling your function before it's been added to the document? Like you don't call checkUserFavorites above your <script> tag do you? What does firebug or chrome tools show you as the content of the file? If your page is being rendered while suppress whitespace (cfsilent, enablecfoutputonly, etc) you may need to wrap your js producing code in <cfoutput>.
