Javascript timer to postback aspx ASP.NET 2.0 page does not work. May be related to 456842?
Visual Studio 2005, ASP.NET 2.0 C# on XP.
Works fine in IE 7, does not in FF 3
Did not test in FF 2.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an aspx page in VS 2005
2. Add Javascript that posts back every n seconds
3. IE post back happens - javascript timer goes on, FF - postback happens - javascript timer stops
