Sounds pretty clearly like a security restriction to me.

Cross site scripting is a major security problem - the code that you've
shown, if it worked, would open the door on any number of phishing scams.

What's FireFox's security model in this regard - have they published one?  

Personally I wouldn't get too attached to the functionality if I were you -
my guess is support for this in FF is more a bug than a feature unless
they've specifically addressed the issue in a published security model.
