It is a known issue and multiple discussions[^] can be found on internet.

FF doesn't use window.event for keypress, but expects the event to be passed as a parameter to the function handling it
Look 'Fang' answer here for similar discussion on how to handle it: window.event.keycode 13 won't work in Firefox[^]
