Automatic form submittals can cause huge security problems (hence, IE does it).
I'm almost certain this is a WONTFIX/INVALID.

Works for me in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050707
Firefox/1.0+

Though the code should probably be:

document.forms.ToolBox.submit()

WFM as well. Too bad we have to implement every hastely implemented feature of IE..
