I have written a VBScript codes to develop my webpage. I have always tested it using IE. Today, I learned that when I am using Mozilla, none of my VBScipt codes are fired.

Can some please advice?

Well, there are errors in your code - even in IE. Perhaps IE is continuing the functions despite the errors. Or, your code might contain functions/properties that are not supported by other browsers. IE tends to have a lot of proprietary functionality.

Welcome to the world of Windows programming! If I am not mistaken, VBscript uses a ActiveX (i.e. COM) interface and therefore us unsupported by Mozilla/Firefox. This is actually a good thing, though not when you have VBscript to run. VBscript essentially denies the enduser control over their own program and is a security problem.

Use javascript instead. It has much better support across all major browsers.

Can't you see the errors? When I load the page in IE, there is a little yellow error icon in the lower left of the window. Double click it to see the errors. BTW: Yo can configure IE to show a pop-up when it encounters an error, but then you would get that pop up when surfing other sites with errors as well.
