I have HTML page (i.e. test.htm) in a website say (http://172.16.16.20), the page is deeply located into a 3rd level folder, to access the page you have to write the URL as follows (http:/172.16.16.20/l1/l2/l3/test.htm), test.htm has iframe element with src="/rootpage.aspx" like following:
..
<ifram src="/rootpage.aspx"></iframe>
..
..
The "rootpage.aspx" with another page named "primary.aspx" are located in the root folder of the website. And primary.aspx looks like the following:
...
<iframe src="/rootpage.aspx"></iframe>
...
If you open primery.aspx , it is normal to expect to see iframe of tset.htm that contain iframe of rootpage.aspx. That is true for all browsers except Firefox. Unfortunately, Firefox will give the following error:
The page cannot be displayed

I go to IIS>>website>>Properties>>HomeDirectory>>ApplicationSettings>>ExecutePermissions and make it Scripts and Executables. After that Firefox gave me the next error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.

From the last error message I understand that Firefox iframe.src property behaves differently than other browsers, I put "/" in front of the page name to tell the browser to go to root folder, but Firefox believes that root is relative to iframe context not browser context.
To solve the problem I modifed src="/rootpage.aspx" to become src="../../../rootpage.aspx"
Now everything goes right.
