I used a cut-n-paste sample that caused problems and https://edg2s.github.io/content-editable-sandbox/ to produce a short snippet that results in an error if pasted in IE or FF. The snippet is:
<font></font><ul><font> </font><li>dummy text</li></ul>
Removing either pair of font tags or the space between the second pair removes the error.
FF and IE both point to ve.dm.Node.static.cloneElement and indicate that clone is null and/or does not have an "internal" property.
