windows.location.href not working on Firefox3
firefox, javascript
Solution
Have you tried just using
window.location = 'url';
In some browsers, `window.location.href` is a read-only property and is not the best way to set the location (even though technically it should allow you to). If you use the `location` property on its own, that should redirect for you in all browsers.
Mozilla's documentation has a pretty detailed explanation of how to use the `window.location` object.

Problem
We have a JavaScript function named "move" which does just "windows.location.href = any given anchor". This function works on IE, Opera and Safari, but somehow is ignored in Firefox. Researching on Google doesn't produce a satisfactory answer why it doesn't work. Does any JavaScript guru knows about this behavior, and what would be the best practice to jump to an anchor via JavaScript?
