Problema de status en firefox

[Pablus00]

Por que no funciona el status siguiente en firefox y si lo hace en IE? :

Código HTML:

 
<script language="JavaScript">
var speed = 100 
var pause = 3500
var timerID = null
var bannerRunning = false
var ar = new Array()
ar[0] = " prueba "
ar[1] = " prueba 2 "
ar[2] = " prueba 3 "
ar[3] = " prueba 4 "
ar[4] = " prueba 5 "
var currentMessage = 0
var offset = 0
function stopBanner() {
if (bannerRunning)
clearTimeout(timerID)
bannerRunning = false
}
function startBanner() {
stopBanner()
showBanner()
}
function showBanner() {
var text = ar[currentMessage]
if (offset < text.length) {
if (text.charAt(offset) == " ")
offset++ 
var partialMessage = text.substring(0, offset + 1) 
window.status = partialMessage
offset++ // IE sometimes has trouble with "++offset"
timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", speed)
bannerRunning = true
} else {
offset = 0
currentMessage++
if (currentMessage == ar.length)
currentMessage = 0
timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", pause)
bannerRunning = true
}
}
startBanner();
// -->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>
