    Can anybody advise. I used 301 redirect and permanently redirected whole site to another domain. It is working in Explorer and Opera, but not in Mozzila. Can anybody advise hot to make it work in Mozilla as well.

    If it's done properly it should work in all browsers. Maybe your new website is not compatible with Mozilla.

    It is working now. It seems it took some time to start working in Mozilla. I don't kno why. But now it's ok. Thanks for attention for my query.

    In all likelihood you were viewing a cached version. You could have tried emptying 'private data'.

    The browser does not decide whether or not to follow a redirect. The server implements the redirect (but first sends the header). So, FF was just not fetching the 301 page and instead displaying the cached version already on your computer.

    I am agreeing with longcall911, it must have been caching. I can't think of a way to 301 redirect a site that would be browser specific.
