using asp.net, code behind has Response.Write("<script> window.opener=self ; window.close(); </script>"); that works both internal browser and IE, but ignored in Firefox. Why ?

I am using 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2008' Professional Edition, and I use 'Firefox version 5.0'. ( Firefox browser informs me I am using the lsatest version, when I choose 'Help' - 'About Firefox')

My Button ('btClose') is the ONLY object present on my Web Page. Code behind file reads :

======= ======
   protected void btClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Response.Write("<script> window.opener=self ; window.close(); </script>");
   }
======= ======

EVERYTHING works as planned - using either (*) Visual Studio's internal browser

               - OR - 

(*) Internet Explorer

Click 'Close' button - it posts a confirm box, & success !!

BUT - browsing via Firefox - nothing bad happens - NOTHING !

Its as if Firefox doesn't run scripts .

Please let me know what to do.

Sincerely

Ray Grant ( RGrant41@aol.com)

You can only close windows via window.close() that were previously opened via JavaScript
