asp.net redirect in firefox not working

In my .net 3.5 web app i redirect users to another page using response.redirect.

This works in all ie browsers but not in firefox browsers. i have no idea why?

Response.Redirect("~/"+ GlobalConsts.ARTICLE_ANALYSER_URL +"?"+ GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_ONE + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleID + GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_TWO + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleParentOrChild);

Instead of using Response.Redirect just manually do the redirect:

Response.Clear();
Response.Status = "302 Found";
Response.StatusCode = 302;
Response.AddHeader("Location", url);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();

It might be a caching issue, as according to this article http://www.mrclay.org/2011/07/03/firefox-5-shibboleth-issues/

And you might need to remove any caching headers you are sending along in the response. So set the cache headers to not cache and then response redirect:

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); 
Response.Redirect("~/"+ GlobalConsts.ARTICLE_ANALYSER_URL +"?"+ GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_ONE + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleID + GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_TWO + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleParentOrChild);

Try this piece:

Response.Redirect("~/"+ GlobalConsts.ARTICLE_ANALYSER_URL +"?"+ GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_ONE + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleID + GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_TWO + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleParentOrChild,false);

you can create a javascript function and call it when redirection needs to be done,

//javascript
function RedirectJS(url){
    window.location.href=url;
}

in the codebehind modify the onclick attribute of the button

//C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if(!IsPostBack)
     {
          Button1.OnClientClick = "RedirectJS('"+HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath+"/"+GlobalConsts.ARTICLE_ANALYSER_URL +"?"+ GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_ONE + SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleID + GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_TWO + SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleParentOrChild+"');";
     }
}

Always check with fiddler first.

I like a suggestion made in the forum you linked, about it not being an error with redirections, but an issue with the browser cache. Try setting the expires header.

If the above doesn't do it, share more of your findings with fiddler.
